Lab 3.1 `debootstrap` on arm64

kittychiu

A note for future student who are stuck with debootstrap. This issue wasted me 2 days to resolve.

This step on ARM64

sudo debootstrap xenial /mnt/chroot-ubuntu-xenial/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

Will give error

Couldn't download http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-arm64/Packages

Because debootstrap is looking for ARM64 binary in given mirror http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ which does not exist.

To resolve, remove the mirror and this should work with the repositories listed in /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo debootstrap xenial /mnt/chroot-ubuntu-xenial/
