init rootfs (debootstrap) not working in raspbian script

[b-s101]

debootstrap --foreign --arch armhf ${deb_release} ${rootfs} ${deb_local_mirror} does not work in Raspbian build script. Changing deb_mirror to an official Debian mirror while leaving the rest of the script untouched works.

Maybe there are some packages missing in the Raspbian repository which are necessary for creating the root filesystem.

You need apt-cacher-ng in order to get it working:
deb_mirror="http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian"
deb_local_mirror="http://localhost:3142/archive.raspbian.org/raspbian"

I will comment that string in script, leaving instructions. Anyway, if you are planning to burn few images and play with raspbian cross-compilation, I suggest to setup apt-cacher-ng and use untouched deb_local_mirror

That might do the trick. On the other hand I got it working by modifying the the first call of debootstrap to debootstrap --foreign --no-check-gpg --include=ca-certificates --arch=armhf ${deb_release} ${rootfs} ${deb_local_mirror}

edit:
--no-check-gpg must be added. Otherwise debootstrap will complain about an unknown key (E: Release signed by unknown key (key id 9165938D90FDDD2E))

You can just download the Raspbian release key, import it into your own keyring, and then tell debootstrap to use that.

i.e.

 $ wget https://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian.public.key
 $ gpg --import raspbian.public.key
 $ debootstrap --keyring /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg ....

Thanks, I am going to release updated and better version soon :)

Cool - I'm still struggling to get past the bit where it says that it can't
find "mount", which I think is something to do with binformats.

Or in fact you can probably just use this once you've downloaded the key:
$ apt-key add raspbian.public.key
