[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#728096: schroot fails if shm tmpfs is mounted on /dev/shm

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: schroot
Version: 1.7.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

schroot is failing with the following error when the shm tmpfs is
mounted on /dev/shm on the host system:

E: 10mount: E: Failed to resolve path
“/var/lib/schroot/mount/sid-amd64-sbuild-blOhtk-17839/dev/shm”: Not a
directory

On the same machine remounting it to /run/shm and creating a symlink
from /dev/shm fix the issues. I can reproduce this with both the version
from unstable and experimental.

See the attached log.

Cheers

Laurent Bigonville
