Thanks for the report.  I've had another user report this, so I now
have a backtrace and debug log at the point of failure and should
get a fix out this weekend.

For the time being, this appears to be when reading a session file
under /var/lib/schroot/session.  Unclear why at this point, but
likely to be not coping with a missing type= parameter.  Removing
the session file should fix it--there's no problem with session
files created by the new schroot.  You could verify this by running
with --debug=notice.

Once I've found the cause and fixed it, I'll release a new version.


Regards,
Roger
