I could reproduce the build with the current package in sid.
adding -v option to dh_fixperms, I got this:


        find debian/gnustep-base-common  -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0r chown 
--no-dereference 0:0
cowdancer: mkstemp: Bad file descriptor
chown: changing ownership of 
`debian/gnustep-base-common/usr/share/GNUstep/Libraries/gnustep-base/NSTimeZones/localtime':
 Cannot allocate memory
dh_fixperms: command returned error code
make: *** [binary-indep] Error 1



'./usr/share/GNUstep/Libraries/gnustep-base/NSTimeZones/localtime'
looks like a symbollic link, and apparently, that is probably the
problem. My guess is that cowbuilder is not handling chown of a
symbollic link correctly.
