Trying to setup clickable with chroot

[tomoqv]

I have installed a bunch of things, including click chroot create...
When I try to build my webapp I get:
..$ clickable build

Failed to create the build directory: <type 'exceptions.OSError'>

What is wrong?

I've had the same issue when building Cordova apps. I think the problem is with schroot package that is used by SDK. I solved it by installing original 16.04 (not 16.04.2) image into virtual machine and then Not updating it.

I think fiddling with virtual machines sounds like a lot of hassle and something that just eats up resources from the system. There should be an easier way, and I thought installing chroot was it.

When chroot failed, I tried to set up an lxd container as suggested in the wiki, but I ran into errors with that too. I have an Ubuntu 16.10 system and just looking for the easiest way to set up a dev environment with clickable. Unfortunately setting up an environment for ubuntu app development seems to require more than my intermediate Ubuntu skills.

Now I have chroot and lxd + containers installed that won't start. Is there a way to just clean everything out and start over?
