Bug#931760: doesn't pull perl-openssl-defaults in debootstrap

[Marc Haber]

Package: libnet-ssleay-perl
Version: 1.85-2+b1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

when I use debootstrap with a package that depends on
libnet-ssleay-perl, the debootstap fails:

perl-openssl-abi-1.1 is provided by perl-openssl-defaults, which your
package depends on. Both debootstrapping without libnet-ssleay-perl and
explicitly also including perl-openssl-defaults work just fine.

This might be a bug in debootstrap, not properly handling the virtual
provides of perl-openssl-defaults. Please reassign if your analysis has
the same result.

Greetings
Marc
