Re: stupid recent problem (chroot related)

[Sylvain Archenault <sylvain.archenault@laposte.net>]

Hello,

I send a message about this at the Pkg-shadow-devel team. They told me, 
they've sent a patch to dchroot (#360604).

And as a workaround, you can set the SU_NO_SHELL_ARGS environment variable
before calling dchroot, or use:
        dchroot -- -c "command"
instead of:
        dchroot -- command

Regards.
