Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.152
Severity: normal
Hi,
every time while extracting the .tgz and setting up the build
environment, the following error message is printed:
ln: creating symbolic link `/tmp/pbuilder/build/25744/etc/mtab' to
`../proc/mounts': File exists
indicating there would be something wrong.
I found two different /etc/mtab files in newly created base.tgz files:
a) with cdebootstrap: the proper symlink is already in place and no
error should be printed
b) with debootstrap: /etc/mtab is a regular file with information about
/proc and /sys and should probably be replaced
