Describe what you expected

That sudo kdb ls / does ls in the new chroot.

Describe what actually happened

Hang in endless loop in elektraResolveDir, in src/plugins/resolver/filename.c because the dir will never get equal /.

Workaround: disable dir resolving. (e.g. uncommenting elektraResolveDir)
