I see this on a machine where the user is missing from /etc/subuid: dima@shorty:~$ /tmp/mmdebstrap bookworm /tmp/tst.tar.gz http://deb.debian.org/debian
E: unable to pick chroot mode automatically dima@shorty:~$ /tmp/mmdebstrap --mode=unshare bookworm /tmp/tst.tar.gz http://deb.debian.org/debian W: no entry in /etc/subuid for dima E: failed to parse /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid Is this right? Can we get better error messages? The "normal" command a user would type is the first one, and "unable to pick chroot mode automatically" is unhelpful. It tells the user nothing about what went wrong, or how to even look for a solution. Thanks.
