Description Jan Paesmans 2009-01-09 15:48:32 UTC 
The python script builder that is run as the init of the user mode linux contains some errors:
os.system("mount -t hostfs hostfs ....
For some reason this must be
os.system("mount -t hostfs none ...
This seems to work.

Also the ebuild should create the directory /etc/rootstrap/workdir because this directory is used to mount the directory where the uml is started or as defined in the config file

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create uml image
2. verify that uml image works with a debian rootfs image for uml
3. rootstrap root.img

Also, got a DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated in /usr/lib/rootstrap/builder: 73

this is not a version bump request, but a regular bug report.
version bumps are requests to include a newer version (as released by upstream) in portage.

as this package is unmaintained in gentoo, the problem is best reported to upstream (in this case the debian bug database). if and when debian fixes this bug in a newer version, a version bump request can be filed.
thanks for your contribution.

Debian had a -5 patch which I applied in 0.3.24_p5. Does this fix your issue?
