Package: acpi-fakekey Version: 0.138-6 Severity: important In the postinst, you do
start-stop-daemon --oknodo --stop --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/acpi_fakekeyd This makes it impossible to install acpi-support in a chroot, e.g. when preparing a rootfs for a live CD: Setting up acpi-fakekey (0.138-6) ... start-stop-daemon: nothing in /proc - not mounted? dpkg: error processing acpi-fakekey (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 [...] Errors were encountered while processing: acpi-fakekey acpi-support eeepc-acpi-scripts I assume that if /proc was mounted, acpi-fakekeyd would start up normally, possibly interfering with the system outside the chroot, and almost certainly preventing the chroot being unmounted. (i.e. BAD!) Normally this is fixed by using invoke-rc.d to start daemons in the postinst script, so that people like me can create a policy-rc.d(8) script that tells daemons not to start during the chrooted bootstrap. If that is not an option, you might look for the existence of /etc/debian_chroot (which is not required, but is often used in chroots), or do whatever udev does to detect the existence of a chroot: Setting up udev (164-3) ... A chroot environment has been detected, udev not started.
