Package: pbuilder Version: 0.196 Severity: normal Hello,
pbuilder fails if TMPDIR is set to a subdirectory of /tmp (for instance, libpam-tmpdir configures per-user temporary directory, like TMPDIR=/tmp/user/0) This is quite trick to diagnose, because dpkg-deb log is missleading: > -> Creating pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy package > Package: pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy > Version: 0.invalid.0 > Architecture: i386 > Maintainer: Debian Pbuilder Team <pbuilder-ma...@lists.alioth.debian.org> > Description: Dummy package to satisfy dependencies with aptitude - created by > pbuilder > This package was created automatically by pbuilder and should > Depends: foo, bar > dpkg-deb: building package `pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy' in > `/tmp/satisfydepends-aptitude/pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy.deb'. > dpkg-deb: failed to make tmpfile (control): No such file or directory I guess the easiest way to solve the issue would be reset the value of TMPDIR (and TMP to be on the safe side).
