Package: schroot
Version: 1.6.3-1
When entering a schroot the script "setup.d/15binfmt" is executed. This
performs a check to see if "update-binfmts" is present (on line 31). If
it is not present the output of the which call is displayed on the
terminal (because it is sent to stderr and that is not redirected to
/dev/null).
Example:
$ schroot ls
E: 15binfmt: which: no update-binfmts in
(/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin)
Desktop files
E: 15binfmt: which: no update-binfmts in
(/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin)
This can be easily fixed by changing line 31 of setup.d/15binfmt from
elif ! which update-binfmts > /dev/null ; then
to
elif ! which update-binfmts > /dev/null 2>&1; then
