I've completed the first stage of the debootstrap using this command :
debootstrap --foreign --arch armhf chimaera /chimaera-armhf
http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera
When the first stage of the debootstrap ended,I found a directory on the
desktop,called "chimaera" with a lot of files inside (including the
directory called "debootstrap". Then I tried to execute the second stage of
the bootstrapping issuing this command :
sudo chroot /chimaera-armhf debootstrap --second-stage
unfortunately it does not work :
sudo chroot /chimaera-armhf/debootstrap --second-stage
chroot : failed to run command '--second-stage' : no such file or directory
Why this error ? on /chimaera-armhf I have a directory called
"debootstrap" and inside it there are the following files :
arch
base
debian-common
debootstrap
debootstrap.log
debpaths
deburis
functions
mirror
required
suite
suite-script
thanks.
