Package: grml-debootstrap
Version: 0.59
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
I tried to install a debian chroot by running "fakeroot grml-debootstrap -i mnt
-t target" when I had an empty directory at "target" and a debian installer iso
mounted at "mnt" (mounted using fuseiso).
After several warnings about being unable to create a cache directory, the
program errors out with the following:
* Mounting Debian image loopback to test2/mnt.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakeroot-sysv.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded:
ignored.
mount: only root can do that
-> Failed (rc=1)
If I try to install with fakeroot but without specifying an iso, the install
gets farther.
It seems like it should be possible to do at least some of the install without
root privileges.

AFAIK the `-i` option isn't widely used and we didn't have any
progress here neither for more than 10 years. :)
We plan to drop support for` -i` from grml-debootstrap (see
https://github.com/grml/grml-debootstrap/issues/311 for ongoing
planning) - using this as opportunity to mark this bug as "done"
(next to wontfix).
