If you have privileges to chroot(), you can just use --mode=root.
But currently none of the expected ways work as non-root: $ mmdebstrap --mode=root --variant=required --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg '' foo.tar.gz 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main' 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstable main' E: need to be root with additionnal fakeroot-hurd: $ fakeroot-hurd mmdebstrap --mode=root --variant=required --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg '' foo.tar.gz 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main' 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstable main' Undefined subroutine &main::SYS_capget called at /usr/bin/mmdebstrap line 6081. /bin/fakeauth: Error 255 for child 23498 /bin/settrans: Error 255 for child 23497 $ mmdebstrap --mode=fakeroot --variant=required --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg '' foo.tar.gz 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main' 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstable main' E: need working fakechroot binary on GNU/Hurd it should be using chroot instead of using the fragile fakechroot. I had tried to create a hurdish fakechroot that just calls chroot(), but apparently mmdebstrap is expecting various fakechroot environment variables, I didn't easily manage to find out what. Samuel
