[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#597368: schroot: session handling broken with plain chroots (breaks sbuild)

[Aurelien Jarno]

Package: schroot
Version: 1.4.12-1
Severity: serious
Justification: break kfreebsd-* buildds

Since version 1.4.12-1, sbuild doesn't work anymore with plain chroots,
due to changes in session handling:

| $ schroot -c sid-kfreebsd-amd64-sbuild --begin-session
| sid-kfreebsd-amd64-sbuild

Note that the session id returned here is the same name as the chroot
as it is a plain chroot. Then sbuild calls schroot with this session
id and it fails:

| $ schroot -c sid-kfreebsd-amd64-sbuild --run-session
| E: sid-kfreebsd-amd64-sbuild: Chroot not found

The bug has been introduced by this commit:

|     sbuild::chroot_config: Use namespace hints correctly
|    
|     If a chroot name doesn't contain an explict namespace,
|     fall back to the provided namespace hint before falling
|     back to the "chroot" namespace if no hint was provided.
