[Bug 1716079] Re: debootstrap fails when bootstrapping to a directory name with spaces

[Ken Sharp]

The cause of the fault with debootstrap is unrelated to cdebootstrap.
cdebootstrap is written in C. A seperate bug report should be opened for
that.

** Changed in: cdebootstrap (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

  debootstrap fails when bootstrapping to a directory name with spaces

Bug description:
  I use debootstrap to do minimal installs of Ubuntu and I couldn't
  figure out why debootstrap would silently fail when I pass the name of
  my directory I wanted to install the Ubuntu system in (which, for
  purposes of bug reporting, I'll call "Ubuntu System").

  Running this command will create bootstrap/ and var/ directories in
  "Ubuntu System" but will just silently stop:

   $ sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 artful Ubuntu\ System

  While renaming to UbuntuSystem solves the problem:

   $ sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 artful UbuntuSystem

  Since this was an Artful installation I was doing it from, I tried
  grabbing the version from zesty-updates and it happens there as well.

  The least it could do is be a bit more verbose (I even tried with
  --verbose and it still didn't work)...
