Bug#1031677: More information -- problem specifying ext4 as the chroot-filesystem

[Chris Ward]

I can reproduce the problem with just lb commands.

lb config --distribution=bookworm --chroot-filesystem=ext4
lb build

shows the problem, but if I remove the "--chroot-filesystem=ext4" (to 
give me a squashfs root file system) the build runs to its normal 
completion.


When it fails, the build gives a message

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/etc/mtab': File exists
