Sorry, but this simply cannot work: a chroot() is too weak, and doesn't mix well with file system namespacing (which triggers the errors you are seeing). Proper file system namespacing hides the fact pretty well that things are namespaced, but chroot does not. Especially if you then mix namespacing and chroot things become ugly... Hence, please do not use chroot for what you are trying to do. Please either use namespacing (i.e. mount --move) or privot_root() for this. > I ran `debootstrap jessie /jessie` and got a full Jessie > installation in that subfolder (via tasksel and everything).

Both tools are part of util-linux.
