Package: mmdebstrap
Version: 1.5.6-4~bpo12+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
When running with the following command prompt
mmdebstrap --mode=chrootless --format=directory --arch=hurd-i386 \
--include=sysvinit-core,sysv-rc,debian-ports-archive-keyring,gnumach-image-1-486
--customize-hook="passwd --root=\"\$1\" --delete root" \
--variant=apt unstable /hurd \
"deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstale main" \
"deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main"
where /hurd is the mountpoint for a partition with a filesystem
generated with "mk2efs -o hurd" with write permissions to non-root
users, and the command is being run by a normal user account,
I'm getting the following output:
I: skipping emulation check in chrootless mode
I: finding correct signed-by value...
done
readdir() attempted on invalid dirhandle $dh2 at /usr/bin/mmdebstrap line 6889.

And seems to get stuck.
Thank you for considering this issue,
