this sounds like a bug but how is it a bug in sbuild-createchroot? The tool is just a very thin wrapper around debootstrap and the issue will also appear in debootstrap, no? Also, why are you using sbuild-createchroot? Are you trying to set up the initial schroot configuration? Why is this not a bug in gpg-agent? Thanks! cheers, josch
