[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#360124: sbuild: making use of chroot ${dist}-sbuild makes "session managed" to be misdetected

[Adeodato Simó]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.43

Hi!

  sbuild 0.43 introduced the following nifty feature (thanks!):

    - When using schroot, look for a distribution named
      "$distribution-sbuild" in preference to "$distribution".

  I've observed, though, that if sbuild picks ${dist}-sbuild
  automatically, the chroot will no longer be regarded as session
  managed, even if it is. I haven't been able to look into the code and
  find what is causing this, but consider the following detailed
  example:

% sudo schroot -i -c sid3
  --- Chroot ---
  Name                  sid3
  Description           Debian sid (for sbuild)
  Type                  lvm-snapshot
  Priority              3
  Groups                sbuild
  Root Groups           sbuild
  Aliases               unstable <======== NOTE THIS
  Run Setup Scripts     true
  Run Execution Scripts true
  Session Managed       true
  Location              /chroot/sid
  Path                  /chroot/sid
  Device                /dev/vg2/sbuild
  Mount Options         -t reiserfs -o noatime,notail
  Source Groups         root
  Source Root Groups
  LVM Snapshot Options  -L2g
