Bug#774331: debootstrap: fakechroot variant fails with fakechroot not found
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.66
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
As a normal user, trying to run debootstrap --variant=chroot
(after starting fakeroot and fakechroot)
yields the following:
[output omitted]
I: Installing core packages...
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /home/user/debootstrap-test dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.37_amd64.deb
W: See /home/user/debootstrap-test/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details

/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 905: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: chroot: not found
It seems that chroot isn't in the default $PATH for a normal user, causing
debootstrap to fail.
