[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#728422: sbuild: fails to getent group sbuild when running with init=/bin/systemd

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.63.2-1.1
Severity: important

Hi,

from a pristine wheezy box, I've done that:
 - install sbuild
 - add myself to the sbuild group
 - run sbuild-createchroot sid /location http://mirror/debian
 - run sbuild -As -d unstable foo.dsc

The last bit failed with:
| D: Running command: schroot -d / -c sid-amd64-sbuild-59d745d4-bd00-4c4d-82cb-1b21032d8205 --run-session -q -u root -p -- getent group sbuild
| /bin/sh: 1: cannot create /var/lib/schroot/mount/sid-amd64-sbuild-59d745d4-bd00-4c4d-82cb-1b21032d8205/etc/group: Permission denied
| E: Failed to create group sbuild
| Failed to set up chroot

Looking at the "mount" output, that reminded me I was running under
systemd, so I wondered whether switching it off would help. And it
helped indeed!

I suspect there's some interference between some schroot things and
systemd, but filing it against sbuild for now, since that's where I
hit the bug so far.

Mraw,
KiBi.
