Severity: normal

Thanks a lot for mmdebstrap, I use it to generate images for my Xen
cluster, it's efficient and works like a charm.
I have a small bug when using it to generate Jessie images with systemd
components, when systemd's postinst invokes 'systemd-machine-id-setup'
and this one fails because it cannot find any /dev/urandom. Reproduce
with :
./mmdebstrap --mode=unshare --include systemd jessie jessie.tar.gz
...
Setting up systemd (215-17+deb8u7) ...
Failed to read /proc/cmdline. Ignoring: No such file or directory
Failed to open /dev/urandom: Function not implemented
dpkg: error processing package systemd (--install):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 1
I've worked around this by adding a
--setup-hook='systemd-machine-id-setup --root $1' which is quite a hack
and works because my host has systemd.
And then I encounter a last (related?) bug :
./mmdebstrap --mode=unshare --setup-hook='systemd-machine-id-setup --
root $1' --include systemd jessie jessie.tar.gz
...
I: installing apt...
done
E: run_chroot failed: E: cannot make_path ./dev/pts/
It seems than around line 777 when creating type==5/directory it goes
thru the havemknod==false path and fails. But if I bypass this block, it
proceeds with bind-mouting /dev/pts which works, and I get my working
tarball.
