[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#566879: dchroot: does not work as root

[Aurelien Jarno]

Package: dchroot
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: important

Since the upgrade of dchroot to version 1.4.0-1, it doesn't work as root
anymore:

| # dchroot
| E: Authentication failed: Operation not supported
| #

dchroot still works as a user, and schroot still works for both modes.
