I'm not sure why you get the permission denied error in /dev, but it may be the case that this will fix things. If not, I'm sure we can implement your patch (or an equivalent using ischroot) for /run. It would be good to know if the above package solves the problem first, however. Sadly it doesn't. Current (22) version fails running: ln -s $INITCTL $OLDINITCTL.new This is still present in the git version. fakechroot does not pretend pathes under /dev are in the faked chroot, and hence basically any attempt to modify the file system there will fail. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il || best tzaf...@debian.org|| friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
