APT and DPKG broken on Stretch and Xenial

[geoffreycs]

I know that this may not be an issue now, but it will be later. I managed to install Debian Stretch and Ubuntu Xenial under GNUroot, and trying to use APT always fails with "setuig 0 failed: Permission denied". If you use Ubuntu Xenial, upon login it will print an error message: "Unable to get name of group 10496". Adding this group to /etc/group doesn't fix it at all. This is a problem only in Debian Stretch and any distros that are based on it, such as Ubuntu Xenial. Again, I know this is not a problem currently, but it will be once the switchover from Jessie to Stretch is made.

How did you install debian stretch?
Can stretch repositories simply be added to /etc/apt/sources.list to use stretch packages?
You mentioned switchover, are there plans to support stretch?
Thanks.

I downloaded a Debian Stretch armhf roots tarball and installed it in the GNU Root app like shown here: https://nmilosev.svbtle.com/gnuroot-fedora-arch. This also happens with Ubuntu Xenial, but Jessie and Trusty work fine.

When I upgrade to stretch this also fails. I'm wondering if it's an systemd init incompatibility, because the error message is interesting.

E: Method gave invalid 400 URI Failure message: Could not get saved set-user-ID - getresuid (38: Function not implemented)
E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process http returned an error code (112)

Interesting. It's DPKG that errors out for me. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab® S
