It is very dangerous and is entirely capable of accidentally trashing large swathes of your filesystem when a less cavalier set of options would have produced a sensible error messages. All the reasonable things you might want to force have much safer alternatives.

Is there any reason not to bind-mount /proc into your chroot? We don't support running very much without /proc in place, and certainly not installing packages in general.

ubuntu core - kernel installation question
Hi, I am evaluating ubuntu core 12.10 (this version because of touch screen support) and I am following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core/InstallationExample and up until the installation of the kernel everything is working (if I reuse a kernel installation from previous builds (my own builds) everything is fine) BUT when I want to install a .deb with the kernel selected from the packages list I get: root@ubuntu:/tmp# dpkg -i --force-all linux-image-3.5.0-21-generic_3.5.0-21.32_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 11687 files and directories currently installed.)
