Can't chroot from a vz container

[jemershaw]

Description

When trying to run chroot in a amd64 container it core dumps when trying to run the chroot commands. It seems like docker desktop was able to fix this here.

Output of colima status

┗╸❯❯❯ colima status
INFO[0000] colima is running using macOS Virtualization.Framework
INFO[0000] arch: aarch64
INFO[0000] runtime: docker
INFO[0000] mountType: virtiofs

Reproduction Steps

1. colima start --activate -c 10 -d 100 -m 8 --ssh-agent --vm-type vz --vz-rosetta --mount-type virtiofs
2. export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64
3. DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64 docker run --rm -it --privileged ubuntu
4. apt-get update && apt-get install -y debootstrap
5. mkdir -p /rootfs
6. export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
7. debootstrap focal /rootfs ||
   (cat /rootfs/debootstrap/debootstrap.log && false)

Expected behaviour

The output should show

rosetta error: Unable to open /proc/self/exe: 40
 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

This is due to trying to run a chroot, but it seems like it was fixed in docker desktop here https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6973

Additional context

No response

Still an issue in 2025 - I'm attempting to install additional packages on a Red Hat UBI image, like

dnf install curl --installroot /mnt/rootfs --releasever 9 --setopt install_weak_deps=false --nodocs -y && \
    dnf --installroot /mnt/rootfs clean all && \
    rpm --root /mnt/rootfs -e --nodeps setup

I get a similar error rosetta error: Unable to open /proc/self/exe: 2. This issue does not occur on Docker Desktop for Mac using VZ and Rosetta.
