Were you previously using DSA dchroot or dchroot provided by schroot? If you were using DSA dchroot, have you tried the dchroot-dsa package? If you were using DSA dchroot, have you tried the dchroot-dsa package? [dchroot.conf format and command-line syntax differ slightly] There have been no dchroot changes TTBOMK since the previous stable 1.2.x releases (it's just an schroot API wrapper). I'll take a look as soon as I have some free time. If you also use schroot, could you possibly try renaming dchroot.conf temporarily and dchroot should then use schroot.conf instead. Does this now work correctly? [If you don't have a schroot.conf, 'dchroot --config' will generate one for you] dchroot uses a more limited and stricter permissions checking routine when running in dchroot compatibility mode, so this will identify the source of the issue. If so, we just need to special- case root as for the other routine. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
