Bug#731859: Still broken

[Ken Sharp]

variant=fakechroot still fails in testing, but it apparently fails in a different way. (Do I need a new bug report?)

$ debootstrap --variant=fakechroot testing testing
E: debootstrap can only run as root


E: This variant requires fakechroot environment to be started



debootstrap 1.0.134

`fakeroot fakechroot debootstrap --variant=fakechroot testing testing` fails. Whereas `fakeroot fakechroot debootstrap --variant=minbase testing testing` succeeds. But at this point I have to ask what the purpose of variant=fakechroot is in the first place, as it can only be run with `fakeroot fakechroot` anyway. $ fakeroot debootstrap --variant=fakechroot testing testing So the only way to run a debootstrap is to either use `fakeroot fakechroot` with variant=minbase, or as root.
