I’m using ganeti to create an ubuntu 20 “focal” VM on a debian 11 host, but it always fails with the following output (pulled from debootstrap.log on the instance disk):
Setting up passwd (1:4.8.1-1ubuntu5) ...

I followed ganeti-instance-debootstrap instructions, in which case the ‘focal’ variant is just a symlink to ‘gutsy’, so I’m not sure what else to try. In case it helps, Debian 11 and Ubuntu 18 (bionic) instances work without error.
Some more version information, if helpful:
