Public bug reported:
Impact: this appears to stop vmbuilder from creating a Quantal VM
completely.
Evidently the kernel package now looks for /proc/cpuinfo in order to
check for PAE support (since PAE support is going away in Quantal). I
think this is failing because /proc doesn't exist in the environment
that vmbuilder is using.
Tested on a fresh Quantal cloud image, dist-upgraded and python-vm-
builder installed from the current Quantal archive. The only catch here
is that I did it on a virtual image, but I can't see how that would
affect this.
Possible solution: mount /proc inside the chroot?
