Gotta be root to use chroot. Besides, you can't use chroot that way. There's nothing in the chroot if you do that - no apt, for instance. > Are you sure that's what voltaire is for?

You can't install packages, and you can't chroot randomly; you're supposed to ask debian-admin for them. You can debug problems and rebuild packages with fakeroot, however, which is what I meant by "what it is for". -- Daniel Jacobowitz Debian GNU/Linux Developer Monta Vista Software Debian Security Team
