Hi guys; I see you got it fixed by downgrading, and I've never even heard of 'dchroot', nor 'schroot' previously, but may I ask; Isn't the syntax in that original command, you posted from the bug report actually telling the command dchroot to *ignore* any following 'options', by using the ' -- ' syntax, just after the command...IOW Doesn't this; > dchroot -- -c "command" mean: dchroot, ignore options that follow, then pass to it the -c option (which it may ignore?), then "command".? I only ask b/c, I've learned (from lurking about usenet) that this is one trick that's used to remove filenames that begin with a '-' (hyphen), when using the 'rm' command. If a file's is "-somefilename" and you want to delete it, use; 'rm -- -somefilename' Anyway - you both likely already know all this -- just wanted to try to help...
