Usual suspects: - HOME being set to a non-existing directory, or even more tricky: to a directory which exists but which isn't writable. - no net access. In this case, I was able to trigger a successful build on my kfreebsd-i386 porterbox with “debuild -B”, and a failed build with “HOME=/foo debuild -B”. Happy fixing. ;) Mraw, KiBi.
