[Bug 874505] Re: Native Multistrap oneiric chroots have an error configuring base-files

[Aoshi]

Is there any status on this problem? A patch was provided almost half a
year ago. Also, this patch didn't made it into Quantal as of now.  I
cannot find any bug reports about this problem on debian and I can also
install wheezy just fine with it but I am unable to install ubuntu
precise (haven't tested quantal as i don't need this, lucid and oneiric
works) .

Title:
  Native Multistrap oneiric chroots have an error configuring base-files

Status in “base-files” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Setting up an Oneiric cross-build chroot on a natty machine with the
  natty version of multistrap dies during base-files due to /var/run
  issue:

  Setting up base-files (6.4ubuntu5) ...
  rmdir: failed to remove `/var/run': Directory not empty
  dpkg: error processing base-files (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

  thjis goes on to prevent installation of:
   base-files
   bash
   dpkg-dev
   devscripts
   libdebian-dpkgcross-perl
   xdeb
   build-essential
   dpkg-cross

  Inside the schroot we have:
  /var/run on /run type none (rw,bind)
  /var/lock on /run/lock type none (rw,bind)

  umounting these does not allow /var/run migration because now some files have already been created in there:
  sudo dpkg --configure -a 
  Setting up base-files (6.4ubuntu5) ...
  rmdir: failed to remove `/var/run': Directory not empty
