Debian Bootstrap 404's, Failed dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh installs

Hadn't seen a mention of this anywhere...

The problem was pretty obvious. Installer script is now broken due to a version change with the source files it needs to fetch.

Having checked several mirrors, there's no sign of the version of the debian bootstrapper in the installer script anywhere. It's gone.

URL_DEBOOTSTRAP="$DEB_MIRROR/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.25_all.deb"

Appears to now be obsolete and purged.

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.26_all.deb

Fired up VI to edit the dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh script and changed the version number. Worked like a charm.

Posting this here for anyone having this same issue and need reassurance that the debootstrap_1.0.26_all.deb file will not brick their system, etc.

BTW, thanks to Jeff and everyone else... this has been a fun project to research. Now happily adding packages to my dockstar.
Hey mates !

I got the problem too and when i replaced the debootstrap version with the 1.26 i got all my downloaded packages corrupted. (looks like some issues with pkgdetails).

I used the debootstrap_1.0.26+squeeze1_all.deb version and it works fine now.

The difference is now squeeze is the new debian stable (it was not when you got the issue).
