[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#428808: schroot: Fails if chroot's /etc/resolv.conf already points to the right resolv.conf

[Raphael Hertzog]

Package: schroot
Version: 1.1.4-1
Severity: normal

Following my previous bug report I switched my chroot to "plain" type and
got this:
rhertzog at rivendell:~$ schroot -c sarge
cp: `/etc/resolv.conf' and `/var/lib/schroot/mount/sarge-dc129170-7fe7-44ad-9a5e-a7f4e67a716a/etc/resolv.conf' are the same file
E: sarge-dc129170-7fe7-44ad-9a5e-a7f4e67a716a: Chroot setup failed: stage=setup-start

This is because I have <chroot>/etc/resolv.conf as a symlink pointing
to .host/resolv.conf and <chroot>/etc/.host/ is bind mounted to the real /etc/.

It looks like /etc/schroot/setup.d/20network could be enhanced to check
for this specific case at least. Or it could simply do nothing if the
chroot's resolv.conf is a symlink.
