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. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],netfort.gr.jp} Debian Project -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
