looks like libtasn1-2 went out with sarge. And does it actually say
"exclusion"?
how up to date is your install of cdebootstrap? YOu could grep through
the cdebootstrap configs and see if you could replace the refernces to
libtasn1-2* with libtasn1-3*.

I'm using cdebootstrap 0.3.15. My O/S is Etch. Yes it actually says
"exclusion".
libtasn1-[23] do appear in /usr/share/cdebootstrap/sid/packages:
Section: standard
Arch: any
Packages:
priority-required
priority-important
-libtasn1-2-bin
-libtasn1-3-bin
---------------------end-------------------
I don't know how to interpret that however.

since that file hasn't been updated since 2006, I'd say a bug report
is in order.
As I read it, it wants all priority-required and priority-important
packages except libtasn1-2-bin and libtasn1-3-bin. *I* would just
remove the libtasn1-2-bin line and see what happens.
I would also file a bug report as cdebootstrap shouldn't fail when
you exclude a package that doesn't exist, IMO.

I think I'll do that. Thanks.
However, I don't think that's the core problem because I removed
"-libtasn1-[23]-bin" from the packages file, and the problem still
occurs. Here is the output:
I can't see anything that looks like an error message (before the last
line).
What's going on?

a couple of things. 1) only remove the -libtasn1-2-bin line as the
other package exists. 2) I don't have cdebootstrap installed, but I do
have debootstrap. It mentions that trying to install sid from stable
won't work do to changes in the system. I would suspect the same is
true of cdebootstrap. You could install etch with it and then migrate
that etch install, or you could pull in the sid version of
cdebootstrap and try that.

in the world of unhelpful herror messages, that really takes the cake.

That's a good idea. Thanks, I'll try that.

Deserves a bug report at least. Is there a verbose option?
Since it is only a shell script, maybe a bit of sprinkling with echo -n
might shed a bit more light.
