Note that this is a bug against initscripts, not debianutils. Is the problem due to ischroot not working in your chroot? Or is it due to initscripts not using the return value properly? If it's a deficiency in the ischroot tool, then please file a bug against debianutils about it. If it's the latter, then a followup to the above bug is appropriate. In the above bug's case, ischroot returns zero if it's a chroot, 1 if it's not a chroot, and 2 if it wasn't possible to tell. We only run the chroot codepath if we get a zero value back, otherwise we run the standard codepath for a base system. I'm not sure that there's a more reasonable solution here--we don't have the information to make a better choice if it's 2. So it would be useful to know exactly what the return value of ischroot is (it must be run as root), and why. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
