[Bug 2133900] Re: sbuild: autopkgtest fails with 'Can't exec "/usr/sbin/chroot": No such file or directory'

Fri Dec 5 23:27:24 UTC 2025

This bug was fixed in the package sbuild - 0.91.2ubuntu1

---------------
sbuild (0.91.2ubuntu1) resolute; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2130171). Remaining changes:
    - remove .gitignore files and others
    - Ubuntu: Automatically handle mmdebstrap extra args.
      This logic probably should live in mmdebstrap but oh well this
      works for now
    - d/control: Downgrade mmdebstrap Recommends to Suggests,
      to avoid MIR/component-mismatch.
    - unshare/mmdebstrap: Install ca-certificates when adding https Ubuntu repos
  * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
    - chroot: Quote escape username to prevent unintended interpolation
      + make sbuild usable for 'user at org.com' users (LP #2109853)
  * New changes:
    - Cope with lack of /usr/sbin/chroot symlink in coreutils-from-uutils
      (LP: #2133900)

  sbuild autopkgtest currently fails[1] with:

  116s I: Setting up the chroot...
  116s Can't exec "/usr/sbin/chroot": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Chroot.pm line 812.
  116s Failed to exec: /usr/sbin/chroot: No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Chroot.pm line 813.
  116s Can't exec "/usr/sbin/chroot": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Chroot.pm line 812.
  116s Failed to exec: /usr/sbin/chroot: No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Chroot.pm line 813.
  116s I: Successfully set up resolute chroot.
  116s I: Run "sbuild-adduser" to add new sbuild users.
  116s E: Failed to create group sbuild
  116s Failed to set up chroot
  116s E: Error creating chroot session: skipping apt update

  This is because coreutils-from-uutils ships /usr/bin/chroot, not
  /usr/sbin/chroot.
