Please report Linux Mint problems to Linux Mint; I'm afraid that we can't generally deal with bug reports on it, since we don't know what they've changed (we sometimes see something obvious, but there isn't anything obvious in this case). Sorry.

Actually, looking again, the problem seems to be that /dev/shm doesn't exist in the target chroot. This may turn out to be a Mint bug, but we ought to be able to guard against this.
