Package: dchroot
Version: 0.10
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hello
My $HOME is a symlink to /mnt/local/home/ch. Whenever I execute
"dchroot" from within my home directory and supply the "-d" parameter
to preserve the environment variables it fails as in the chroot there
is only /home/ch but not /mnt/local/home/ch.
The following patch at least changes the path to / inside the chroot
which is perfectly ok for both, just starting a program or executing an
interactive shell.
bye,
