Subject: [devuan-dev] bug#442: bash: cannot use job control in an unprivileged LXC container
Package: bash
Version: 5.0-4
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I made an LXC unprivileged container of Devuan on Debian Bullseye by
mmdebstrap --mode=unshare --components="main contrib non-free" --variant=standard beowulf /home/ryutaroh/.local/share/lxc/devuan/rootfs http://deb.devuan.org/merged

"Unprivileged" means that it is started by a non-root user (on host Linux).

The Devuan container works almost fine, but I experienced a minor problem.
When I login from /dev/console by "lxc-start -F -n devuan",
I got the error message from /bin/bash as

-bash: cannot set terminal process group (709): Inappropriate ioctl for device
-bash: no job control in this shell

I do not see the above problem when Devuan is started in
a privileged LXC container.

I do not see the above problem in recent releases of Debian or Ubuntu running
in LXC containers, neither, so it seems Devuan-specific.

I guess that the above problem may occur in a Devuan container on Devuan host,
so it should be reproducible only in Devuan (without use of Debian or Ubuntu).

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
