Bug#678407: pbuilder: pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal gets it's knickers into a twist when in symplinked dir

[Robert Lemmen]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.211
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am symlinking various directories under my home to a different,
faster and not backup-ed, filesystem. when running pdebuild
--use-pdebuild-internal from one of these, funny things happen. assume
/home/test is a symlink to /store/test:

cd /home/test/wM7cwjmM0I/gzip-1.4/
pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal
...
I: Mounting /store/test/wM7cwjmM0I
...
/runscript: line 38: cd: /home/test/wM7cwjmM0I/gzip-1.4: No such file or directory

so it seems to mount the /store/ part ( i assume it mounts it to the
same location within the cchroot), but then tries to mount the /home/
version

this can of course be worked around by starting pdebuild from
/store/test/wM7cwjmM0I/gzip-1.4.

regards  robert
