Debian 10 - Debootstrap not working

[Molipate]

Hi everyone

I try to create a chroot with a bash script ; but debootstrap is not working, i've already done that many times, without any problems ...
Here is the (very simple) script :

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

ARCHITECTURE=$1 #amd64
DISTRIBUTION=$2 #stretch
PATH=$3 #/srv/test_chroot

debootstrap --arch=$ARCHITECTURE $DISTRIBUTION $PATH

It keeps telling me "./installScript.sh: ligne 10: debootstrap: No such file or directory" ; but when I manually run "debootstrap stable test_chroot" it works fine ...
Does any one knows why ?

Thx

Your debootstrap command is #line 7 so the error is three lines further down the script. or it could be that you haven't "quoted" your variables?.?.?. causing a confusion with the line numbers

Putting quotes around variables does not change the problem ; but this works fine :

Code: Select all

debootstrap --arch='amd64' 'stable' 'test_chroot'

debootstrap --arch='amd64' 'stable' 'test_chroot'

Maybe I misunderstood this but are you saying quotes make no difference but what you posted (with single quotes) does work???

EDIT:
and 'test_chroot' is not the same as /srv/test_chroot

[Molipate]

Yes if i replace variables by their content,it does work ...
What do you mean by 'is not the same' ? I run script as root if that's you mean

The title is wrong. Deboostrap is working fine.
Your problem is not deboostrap which is not working, but your script which seems useless.
Or try this, although I don't see why you need a script.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# ARCHITECTURE=$1 #amd64
# DISTRIBUTION=$2 #stretch
# PATH=$3 #/srv/test_chroot

debootstrap --arch $1 $2 $3
