What I used to test was this sbuild invocation: $ sbuild --chroot-mode=autopkgtest --autopkgtest-virt-server=qemu \ > --autopkgtest-virt-server-opts=/srv/qemu/unstable-amd64-autopkgtest.qcow2 And then I got the output you quoted in your first mail: +==============================================================================+ | pkg-minimal 1.0 (amd64) Fri, 04 Jan 2019 20:37:45 +0000 | +==============================================================================+ Package: pkg-minimal Version: 1.0 Source Version: 1.0 Distribution: unstable Machine Architecture: amd64 Host Architecture: amd64 Build Architecture: amd64 Build Type: binary qemu-system-x86_64: warning: host doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.vmx [bit 5] chown: invalid user: 'sbuild:sbuild' E: Failed to set sbuild:sbuild ownership on /build Failed to set up chroot E: Error creating chroot session: skipping pkg-minimal I fixed the problem by changing sbuild such that it now creates the sbuild user and the BUILD_USER inside the chroot if they don't exist yet. This job is usually done by sbuild-createchroot but since you are using qemu I guess that you didn't use sbuild-createchroot to create the base image? Thanks! cheers, josch
