Are you sure it wasn't the 0.99.0-1 -> ... upgrade?  The only change
in 0.99.2-2 was a testsuite personality fix to stop a build failure on
the hppa architecture.

0.99.0 used a command-line options syntax incompatible with previous
releases.  The old behaviour was restored in 0.99.1, and this has been
the same since then.

This is documented in the NEWS file (/usr/share/doc/schroot/NEWS.gz)
and also in the dchroot(1) manual page.

dchroot only accepts a single option.  This is a command to run with
"sh -c", so may be a shell script.

See http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/07/msg00236.html .

If you want to have each option as a separate argument, please use
schroot instead.  The dchroot(1) manual page gives instructions for
upgrading (and you can continue to use dchroot after the upgrade).

> Downgrading to dchroot 0.99.2-1 restores previous functionality.

Are you *really sure* about that version?


Regards,
Roger
