Subject: [bug#68555] [PATCH v2 3/3] gnu: debootstrap: Add zstd dependency.
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2024 01:00:02 +0100

Without that fix, the following command:
    # debootstrap aramo aramo-root http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel
fails with this error:
    I: Chosen extractor for .deb packages: dpkg-deb
    I: Extracting base-files...
    E: Tried to extract package, but tar failed. Exit...

And if we run the falling command manually:
    # sudo dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile [...]/cache/apt/archives/base-files[...].deb
it shows that zstd is missing (from the PATH):
    dpkg-deb (subprocess): unable to execute decompressing archive
    'var/cache/apt/archives/base-files[...].deb' (size=60544) member
    'data.tar' (zstd): No such file or directory

* gnu/packages/debian.scm (debootstrap): [inputs]: Add zstd.
