Package: apt-build Version: 0.12.4 Severity: important And --patch-strip doesn't work, you have to use --patch_strip.
I've got a patch to utils-linux that enables me to run a diskless system by having /etc/mtab be a symlink to somewhere else. Without the patch some programs don't work since they can't find a list of mounted filesystems. Anyway in my quest to turbo-charge everything y apt-build script has tried to recompile utils-linux and the patch I have is a bit out of date and fails. Apt-build did not stop at the failure and carried on and built and installed the package. It took me ages to figure out why kicker was core-dumping.
