Syntax error: newline unexpected #2840

I was unable to start an existing chroot (been a few months since I used the chromebook) -- probably just needed to do an update. But it had worked perfectly fine before. So used edit-chroot -d and moved on with my life. However after re-downloading crouton again and trying to install anything gives me issues as you'll see below.

Tried both power washing and deleting the /tmp directory.

chronos@localhost / $ sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r kali-rolling -t xfce -e -n kali

and just for simplicity sake

Now this only RECENTLY started happening after I rebooted for a chromos update. All other attempts would create the environment but fail when building/extracting? something about dpkg and then would fail install -- trying to run the chroot would ask me if i'd like to finish it -- which it would error with something else. But obviously that's not the issue anymore.

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debootstrap.git/commit/?id=8a77b648b1a989962314a7d389a529bdef66cf1d was just commited an hour ago. Looks like that broke things.

Checking with Julien to fix debootstrap. In the meantime, I've disabled pulling debootstrap from gitweb, so please try again.

Nice. Thanks for a prompt fix in the meantime =)
