Latest Dino on Debian stable

Problem: Because of complex dependencies, #Dino 0.4.x cannot be backported to #Debian stable easily. How to run it anyway without having to resort to oddities like flatpack or snap?

Solution:

① sudo apt install debootstrap schroot

② Add to /etc/schroot/schroot.conf:

[bookworm]
description=Debian bookworm (testing)
type=directory
directory=/var/lib/machines/bookworm
users=you
groups=you
root-users=you
root-groups=root
personality=linux
preserve-environment=true

③ Maybe uncomment some lines in /etc/schroot/default/fstab, if desired. Esp. you want to bind mount /run/user/1000 (or whatever your uid is)!

④ sudo debootstrap --variant=minbase --include=sudo bookworm /var/lib/machines/bookworm https://deb.debian.org/debian

⑤ schroot -c bookworm

⑥ sudo apt install dino-im (this is inside the schroot)

⑦ ctrl-d (to leave the schroot)

⑧ schroot -c bookworm dino-im and enjoy
