 On one of my machines creating a Linux container fails:
 {{{
 W: Failure trying to run: chroot "/var/tmp/tmp.HiqNC7Q599/base-image" dpkg
 --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-
 passwd_3.5.26_amd64.deb
 W: See /var/tmp/tmp.HiqNC7Q599/base-image/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for

 And that log says:

 I originally hit this when trying to solve #34242. To have a chance to
 repro one needs the fix for #34242, too.
