But my chroot installs quota nicely.
chroot was created using cdebootstrap directly to sid. After a bit of investigation, this seems to be reproducable by emptying or deleting /etc/fstab, purging quota, and reinstalling. I'm not sure how to manually invoke the postinst, tryng the following fails: CHROOT bd:/var/lib/dpkg/info# sh -x quota.postinst configure + set -e + '[' configure = configure ']' + . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ++ '[' '!' '' ']' ++ PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 ++ export PERL_DL_NONLAZY ++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend quota.postinst configure Can't exec "quota.config": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl/5.8/IPC/Open3.pm line 168. open2: exec of quota.config configure failed at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm line 56 The chroot's root filesystem is xfs, on a LVM volume, and the kernel is linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7 2.6.12-10, if that matters.
