[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#608416: sbuild-createchroot overwrites files under /etc

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.60.7-1
Severity: important

Hi,

creating two chroots in a row (sid then experimental) leads to a single
/etc/sbuild/chroot/sid-amd64-sbuild, which means the first version of it
got nuked, and replaced with another version:
| $ sudo sbuild-createchroot sid ~/opt/sid-amd64-sbuild          http://localhost:9999/debian
| $ sudo sbuild-createchroot sid ~/opt/experimental-amd64-sbuild http://localhost:9999/debian
| $ ls -l /etc/sbuild/chroot/sid-amd64-sbuild
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Dec 30 19:23 /etc/sbuild/chroot/sid-amd64-sbuild -> /home/cyril/opt/experimental-amd64-sbuild

Since experimental has no own debootstrap script, I know of no better
way of creating a chroot for experimental.

sbuild-creatchroot should probably refuse to create a symlink to the
(new) directory if there's already a symlink?

KiBi.
