[Bug 2054925] Re: Debootstrap fails for Noble with base-files 13ubuntu7

[Julian Andres Klode]

Let me move this to debootstrap tasks instead, I guess we should fix the
LTS debootstraps.

Bug description:
  The last couple of days, I have been unable to run a successful
  debootstrap for Noble Numbat.

  Apparently this is caused by the addition of symlinks (/bin, /lib,
  /lib64 and /sbin) in base-files 13ubuntu7. According to
  debootstrap.log, it fails to extract said symlinks because they
  already exist at that point.

  This can be reproduced against any up-to-date Ubuntu public archive
  mirror as of today.

  Attached shell output of two runs of debootstrap. First run uses
  mirror archive.ubuntu.com (which as of this report serves base-files
  version 13ubuntu7), and second run uses a local custom mirror (which
  serves base-files 13ubuntu6). First run fails, second run succeeds.
