I've installed the new Xcode and command line tools, but when I run ./bootstrap, it quits after failing to configure dpkg-bootstrap-1.10.21-1221. The relevant output is below. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

This is the the actual failure code with Xcode12:

This is not my area of expertise, so I don't know what the fix needs to 
be, but someone else might recognize the problem/cause. This is a new 
failure caused by Xcode12.
We have a newer dpkg being prepared that might fix this, but that branch 
is currently broken, so I can't test. Hopefully it'll be restored soon.
