On a Squeeze, I'm trying debootstrap with variant fakeroot:

$ sudo debootstrap --arch=amd64 --variant=fakeroot squeeze
debootstrap-squeeze-amd64

E: unsupported variant

This is exactly bug 319100[1] (2005), which is tagged as "fixed":
- the error is the same,
- the man page states:

--variant=minbase|buildd|fakechroot|scratchbox
[...]

What should I do? Do I miss something? (fakeroot is installed)

Nicolas

It's "fakechroot" not "fakeroot".

Why are you using "sudo ..."? I would've thought (although I've only
used "minbase" and buildd" in the past) that you wouldn't need sudo
when using fakechroot.

(...)

By reading the man page, shouldn't be "--variant=fakechroot"?

(note the "ch")

Thanks you two!! It's insane the way I can be focused on something and
can't see the evidence.
