Package: schroot Version: 1.4.12-1 Severity: grave I just upgraded schroot to the current version in testing, and now I can't use it anymore because someone got the bright (not) idea that only alphanumeric, dashes and underscores should be allowed in chroot names. It was annoying enough when a while ago the config files started having that (undocumented unless you read the source code and without useful error message) restriction.
Put it back to sanity please. If I want to name a chroot rr2.1.0 because that's what is in it, then that's my choice. While you are at it, let me choose the names of my config files too. Breaking existing users is NOT acceptable so stop doing that. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-powerpc64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages schroot depends on: ii libboost-filesystem1.42.0 1.42.0-4 filesystem operations (portable pa ii libboost-program-options1.42. 1.42.0-4 program options library for C++ ii libboost-regex1.42.0 1.42.0-4 regular expression library for C++ ii libboost-system1.42.0 1.42.0-4 Operating system (e.g. diagnostics ii libc6 2.11.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-8 GCC support library ii liblockdev1 1.0.3-1.4 Run-time shared library for lockin ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libuuid1 2.17.2-3.1 Universally Unique ID library ii schroot-common 1.4.12-1 common files for schroot schroot recommends no packages.
