Package: sbuild Version: 0.78.1-2 Severity: normal I started to try out --chroot-mode=qemu and it's fantastic!
When attempting to investigate a failed build, it seems that --build-failed-commands '%SBUILD_SHELL' does not work. There is no reaction to input. This can be reproduced eg by adding an exit 1 somewhere in debian/rules of src:librscode (a very small package with no dependencies other than debhelper). The test bed was a simple VM generated with autopkgtest 5.11: # autopkgtest-build-qemu sid autopkgtest-sid.img -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages sbuild depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii libsbuild-perl 0.78.1-2 ii perl 5.28.1-6 Versions of packages sbuild recommends: ii autopkgtest 5.11 ii debootstrap 1.0.115~bpo10+1 ii schroot 1.6.10-6+b1 Versions of packages sbuild suggests: pn deborphan <none> ii e2fsprogs 1.45.3-3~bpo10+1 ii kmod 26-1 ii wget 1.20.1-1.1
