Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

schroot.conf supports 'personality=persona' and mk-sbuild-lvm should allow for setting a persona. From the man page:
personality=persona
       Set the personality (process execution domain) to use. This
       option is useful when using a 32-bit chroot on 64-bit system,
       for example. Valid options on Linux are ‘bsd’, ‘hpux’,
       ‘irix32’, ‘irix64’, ‘irixn32’, ‘iscr4’, ‘linux’, ‘linux32’,
       ‘linux_32bit’, ‘osf4’, ‘osr5’, ‘riscos’, ‘scorvr3’, ‘solaris’,
       ‘sunos’, ‘svr4’, ‘uw7’, ‘wysev386’, and ‘xenix’. The default
       value is ‘linux’. There is also the special option ‘undefined’
       (personality not set). For a 32-bit chroot on a 64-bit system,
       ‘linux32’ is the option required. The only valid option for
       non-Linux systems is ‘undefined’. The default value for non-
       Linux systems is ‘undefined’.

Excellent, thanks! The wiki documentation should probably be updated to reflect the usage of this when doing amd64->i386 builds.

ubuntu-dev-tools (0.28) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Adrien Cunin ]
  * pbuilder-dist:
     - Fixed minor bash syntax error
     - Removed quotes around the path when using --aptconfdir, otherwise
       pbuilder create fails

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * mk-sbuild-lv: add --personality option from Jamie Strandboge (LP: #199181)
  * check-symbols: rename temp files to avoid .so versioning confusion.
