[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#337628: schroot: Session recovery fails at startup

[Roger Leigh]

Package: schroot
Version: 0.1.7-1
Severity: normal

The init script fails with a message:

  Recovering schroot sessions... can't get supplementary groups: Success

Logging in as root and running

  # /etc/init.d/schroot start

prints:

  Recovering schroot sessions... sid-snap-ca3a40ec-06fe-48f3-b405-c8f80ccf8461, done.

It's not clear what the difference is between the supplementary groups
set during init script execution and when logged in as root.  It looks
like PID 1 doesn't have any supplementary groups, even GID 0, but does
this also apply to init scripts?
