[Ken Sharp]

Are you sure it wasn't a transient server problem? Debian does have them
now and again.

Does it work now?

Title:
  debootstrap fails an effective install of squeeze

Status in “debootstrap” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debootstrap

  Attempted to execute an install of squeeze from within this ubuntu karmic.
  Created an image file using dd, standard procedure.  Mounted it standard via -o loop to a folder /mnt/ftp.
  Executed a simple                 debootstrap squeeze path/to/debian.

  I expected an effective install to the mounted file.

  Resulted in failed to download binary packages for i386.

  The entry was variations of    http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/

  such as ftp://ftp. .....

  I tried   us.debian ....,   de.debian ..... ,   and au.debian  .....,
  then aborted.

  About the third step into installation and only about 10 seconds in, reported fails to download binary 
  packages, i386.   One reported corrupt packages, continued for a few seconds, then similarly bailed out. 

  All terminated reporting  failure to download binary packages, i386
