[Panos Georgiadis]

Public bug reported:

Reproducer:
-----------
Log in as `root` in your host OS (in my case I used openSUSE Leap 42.2)
> # su -

Install the required software to bootstrap a Debian-based system
> # zypper install debootstrap dpkg

Create the a sub-directory in which you are going to install the Ubuntu
system

> # mkdir /mnt/chroot-ubuntu-trusty
> # debootstrap trusty /mnt/chroot-ubuntu-trusty/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/
> ...
> I: Base system installed successfully.

While creating a `chrooted` environment, we are instructing the `chroot`
comamand to run the `/bin/bash` command as well.

> ultron:~ # chroot /mnt/chroot-ubuntu-trusty /bin/bash
> groups: cannot find name for group ID 472
