I use sbuild with a schroot chroot on lvm, which (as you point out later) doesn't provide a /etc/mtab file. >>> OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/mtab' >> (Followed by another bunch of similar errors) > > In my previous experiences with chrooted build environment I remember > "/etc/mtab" was not replicated in the chroot (using schroot for instance). > > I'm wondering then if this is actually an issue in glances packaging. > I believe '/etc/mtab' should exist on regular environment. I believe starting with Wheezy, /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts [1], but that of course doesn't/shouldn't concern chroots. According to the glibc documentation, however, software shouldn't rely on the existence of the mtab file: "Note that the fstab and mtab files are maintained on a system by convention. It is possible for the files not to exist or not to be consistent with what is really mounted or available to mount" [2] Which makes me think that glances should be ported to use /proc/mounts directly.

I'm wondering then if this is actually an issue in glances packaging. I believe '/etc/mtab' should exist on regular environment. I'm ready to change glances packaging to fix this FTBFS, though I'm not sure this is actually necessary. Can you tell me if glances is supposed to build in a mtab-less environment?
