reassign 505168 libc6 thanks The GNU Libc has hardcoded path to nscd socket, so there is no possibility to use nscd with fakechroot environment.
The Scratchbox2 project provides some patches for Libc: https://maemo.gitorious.org/scratchbox2/scratchbox2/source/173e4b7081bb5f5965ca90bee037231ab4e88c64:external_patches/glibc-2.10-nscd-socket-location.4.patch Perhaps libc6 maintaners could accept this patch. If not, there is no other way to deal with this problem.
