sid chroot

Hello,

i am trying to create a chroot environment for sid using the command

cdebootstrap -v --flavour=minimal sid /sid http://ftp.debian.org/deb

under etch.

however i get the following error message:

O: The following NEW packages will be installed:
O: apt-utils lzma
O: 0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
O: Need to get 243kB of archives.
O: After this operation, 504kB of additional disk space will be used.
O: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
O: lzma apt-utils
O: Failed to fetch bootstrap:/pool/main/l/lzma/lzma_4.43-14_i386.deb

O: Failed to fetch

O: Authentication warning overridden.
O: E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try
with --fix-missing?
E: Couldn't install system due to errors!

this happens only on the above specific packages and not the numerous
packages that where downloaded and installed by cdebootstrap up to that
point. what is the meaning of the error, and how can i overcome it?

many thanks, regards

Thank you Ricardo,

That did the trick.

However, now i wander whether would be appropriate to bring up this
inconsistency between the two tools. For instance the Debian Reference
document section 8.6.35.1 states:

A chroot Debian environment can easily be created by the debootstrap
command in Sarge. For post-Sarge distributions, you may use cdebootstrap
command instead with appropriate option. For example, to create a Sid
chroot on /sid-root while having fast Internet access:

However, on Etch cdebootstrap seems to fail while debootstrap works fine.

if you think that this is important enough to be brought up then whom
shall i address?
