Source: debianutils Source-Version: 4.3 Severity: normal Hi,
ischroot currently fails on Linux if run as non-root, but it can be made to work by using /proc/1/mountinfo and /proc/self/mountinfo instead which can be read by any user. This file is documented in: <http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> If outside a chroot both mountinfo files will be equal and as such the / mount ID will be equal, if inside a chroot /proc/self/mountinfo will either have no entry for / or will have an entry (if it's a distinct mount point) but will have a different mount ID from the one in PID 1. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
