chroot enviroment missing $PATH

[krysopath]

Hello, after installing Lil'Debi on lg-p880, I execute /debian/shell and get # as prompt.

However most of the expected commands arent found in PATH, so after exporting like this: export PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$PATH I have 538 executables found by bash.

However adding a user via adduser $USERNAME I get caught by: passwd: pam_start() failed, error 26 Try again? (y/N)y passwd: pam_start() failed, error 26 Try again? (y/N)N chfn: PAM: Critical error - immediate abort adduser: '/usr/bin/chfn $USERNAME' returned error code 1. Exiting

retrying the above yields: adduser: The user $USERNAME already exists.

su - $USERNAME yields: su: pam_start: error 26

also no apt-get anywhere in $PATH

What/Why/How?

I feel that this is a problem of Lil'Debi, because a selfmade debian.img works just fine. Is this possibly an error of my own? How can I avoid it?
