This isn't the right mailing list to discuss problems with that site:

https://manpages.debian.org/about.html
https://wiki.debian.org/manpages.debian.org

I've forwarded a link to the team on IRC, they may reply to this mail later.

Sounds like a bug or bad data in the redirector. You might want to
collect HTTP headers and send them to the team.

That is the wrong URL, since there is no package called chroot.
This is the correct URL, since the chroot manual is in coreutils:

https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/coreutils/chroot.8.en.html

I noticed that the Spanish manual page does link to the right page.

Sounds like the coreutils chroot(8) English manual page isn't properly
registered in the manual page database.
