Hi,

Are you using sbuild with sudo or schroot ($chroot_mode in
sbuild.conf)?

If you're using sudo, the chroot setup is entirely down to you, and
you need to make sure /proc, /sys etc. are mounted e.g. in your
fstab.  sudo isn't recommended nowadays, though; schroot is much
more flexible.

If you're using schroot, /proc will be automatically mounted for all
chroot types except "plain", which is exactly like sudo: you need to
set it up yourself.  For all other chroot types, e.g. directory,
lvm-snapshot etc., /proc will be automatically mounted (unless you
deliberately remove it from the mount-defaults file).

Hope this helped; if not, do let me know.  If you're using schroot,
the output of 'schroot --config <chroot>' and/or 'schroot --info'
will be useful to let us know about your setup.


Regards,
Roger
