I beg to disagree because not being able to use a package in a chroot
does not render it completely unusable. After all most users will use it
on a "real" system. It should nevertheless work of course.

Could you please give me more info? How did you create the chroot? What
data do you have in /etc, in particular in /etc/fstab? Could you please
run the postinst script directly to see which statement creates the
error message?

I have to admit that I did not create a new chroot but updated one to
sid just today. But my chroot installs quota nicely.
