Thankyou!

This seems to have caused by 3fb8a2b6

The issue is the following: The version of dietlibc shipped on Debian (0.33~cvs20120325-6) still don't has the support for this syscall.

If you don't need systemd support you can workaround this by adding to the configure:

--disable-systemd

I mean, support for fstatat

Thankyou and yes... I realized as well that debian jessie doesn't ship a recent enough dietlibc. However... since dietlibc seems to be (in fact 'is' ...as it seems) only a compile time dependency I simply worked it around like:

01) checkout current dietlibc from fefe 02) build + install it [ make prefix=/usr/local/dietlibc-0.34 && make prefix=/usr/local/dietlibc-0.34 install ] 03) build + install util-vserver [ ./configure DIET=/usr/local/dietlibc-0.34/bin/diet --prefix=/ && make && make install ]

... for the systemd part itself later then... I currently dropped the idea to have systemd on both the host system and the vserver guests (everything debian jessie) since it simply doesn't really work as intended as the linux vserver irc channel suggests.
