I created a clean chroot by running the following commands in a
directory called '/debian-adatok-1/Chroot/':
$ cd /debian-adatok-1/Chroot/
$ sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 wheezy .
$ sudo chroot /debian-adatok-1/Chroot/
$ sudo mount -o bind /dev /debian-adatok-1/Chroot/dev/
$ sudo mount -o bind /proc /debian-adatok-1/Chroot/proc/
Then I installed vuze in chroot environment by running the command:
aptitude install vuze
Is this an install of vuze in clean chroot?
