Package: live-build
Version: 1:20190311
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I was following your [tutorials on customizing the live debian
installation](https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html/live-manual/examples.en.html#using-the-examples).
The last command in every tutorial is `lb build 2>&1 | tee build.log`. But
every time I use it on my Debian WSL2
machine I run into this:
```
...
P: If the following stage fails, the most likely cause of the problem is with
your mirror configuration or a caching proxy.
P: Running debootstrap...
mknod: /mnt/c/deb-live-tutorial/chroot/test-dev-null: Operation not supported
E: Cannot install into target '/mnt/c/deb-live-tutorial/chroot' mounted with
noexec or nodev
P: Begin unmounting filesystems...
P: Saving caches...
chroot: failed to run command ‘/usr/bin/env’: No such file or directory
```
Could it be that live-build is not wokring properly inside WSL2?
