Which version of dchroot are you using?

/usr/bin/openoffice is a perl script.  It looks like what gets run
here is a shell, which obviously can't read perl scripts.

Try running with "strace -f -ff -F -o /tmp/dchroot.log dchroot -c etch
-d openoffice" (as root), and then check all the logfiles to see what
gets run.  tar them up and mail them to me if you want me to take a
look.


Regards,
Roger
