This is a poor error message, which I need to make clearer.  It /should/
say "No chroots are defined in '/etc/schroot/schroot.conf' or '/etc/schroot/chroot.d'",
which is what the error really means.

That's odd.  There have been no changes here; this is my setup:

% ls -l /etc/schroot/chroot.d
total 9
-rw------- 1 root root 158 Dec 12 13:12 etch-amd64-sbuild
-rw------- 1 root root 205 Dec 12 13:12 lenny-amd64-sbuild
-rw------- 1 root root 288 Jan 27 09:07 sid-amd64-sbuild
-rw------- 1 root root 203 Jan 26 10:15 sid-amd64-sbuild.4zMkRO
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 217 Dec 12 13:12 sid-block
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 150 Dec 12 13:12 sid-file
-rw------- 1 root root 151 Dec 12 13:12 sid-loop
-rw------- 1 root root 261 Dec 12 13:12 sid-snap
-rw------- 1 root root 196 Dec 12 13:13 squeeze-amd64-sbuild

Could you run "schroot -l -v --debug=notice" and let me know what you
see?  This should provide more detail about where things are going
wrong.  For example, on my system:

% schroot -l -v --debug=notice 2>&1 | grep Load
D(1): Loading config file: /etc/schroot/schroot.conf
D(1): Loading data file: /etc/schroot/schroot.conf
D(1): Loading config directory: /etc/schroot/chroot.d
D(1): Loading data file: /etc/schroot/chroot.d/sid-loop
D(1): Loading data file: /etc/schroot/chroot.d/squeeze-amd64-sbuild
D(1): Loading data file: /etc/schroot/chroot.d/sid-file
D(1): Loading data file: /etc/schroot/chroot.d/sid-snap
D(1): Loading data file: /etc/schroot/chroot.d/etch-amd64-sbuild
D(1): Loading data file: /etc/schroot/chroot.d/sid-block
D(1): Loading data file: /etc/schroot/chroot.d/lenny-amd64-sbuild
D(1): Loading data file: /etc/schroot/chroot.d/sid-amd64-sbuild

(you can omit the "2>&1 | grep Load"; this is just to show you the
lines showing it's working, /not/ what's failing, which is what we
need to see in your case!)
