Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.123
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: devel@kali.org

Dear Maintainer,
The code that is meant to detect if debootstrap is running from within a
docker container is broken with cgroup v2. Talking about this particular
function and line in the file `functions`:
detect_container () {
[...]
elif grep -qs '[[:space:]]/docker/.*/sys/fs/cgroup' /proc/1/mountinfo; then
CONTAINER="docker"
This code only works for cgroup v1.
After some research, and also after looking into the code of
systemd-detect-virt, it seems that the right way to detect a docker
container these days is to check for the file '/.dockerenv'.
Hence I'm proposing this patch:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debootstrap/-/merge_requests/52
Thanks!
-- More debug logs:
Here's what I get on current Debian sid:
$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-5.10.0-4-amd64 root=<<ROOT>> tro quiet
$ mount | grep cgroup
cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot)
$ sudo docker run --rm -it debian:testing grep '[[:space:]]/docker/.*/sys/fs/cgroup' /proc/1/mountinfo
.... no ouput, the detection code is broken!
$ sudo docker run --rm -it debian:testing ls -l /.dockerenv
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Mar 19 02:37 /.dockerenv
Just out of curiosity, I tried to get the current detection code to
work, by booting my system with cgroup v1 only. This is done by setting
the two boot parameters `systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0` and
`systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller=1`.
Here are the logs:
$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-5.10.0-4-amd64 root=<<ROOT>> ro quiet systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller=1

Conclusion: the debootstrap code that detects a docker container used to
work for cgroup v1, but it's broken for cgroup v2.
