Package: sbuild Version: 0.60.0-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch This is an obscure one, I know.
The default "Chroot Build Dir" includes the full version number in the path. However, for really old versions of libtool (from the era of Debian Etch/Ubuntu Hardy or so) can't deal with tildes in their path, truncating the path when they reach one: mkdir /build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7~ubuntu8.04-amd64-v26GWv/debathena-lprng-3.8.28dfsg.1/debian/debathena-lprng/usr/lib mkdir /build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7~ubuntu8.04-amd64-v26GWv/debathena-lprng-3.8.28dfsg.1/debian/debathena-lprng/usr/lib/lprng mkdir /build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7~ubuntu8.04-amd64-v26GWv/debathena-lprng-3.8.28dfsg.1/debian/debathena-lprng/usr/lib/lprng/filters /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c liblpr.la /build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7~ubuntu8.04-amd64-v26GWv/debathena-lprng-3.8.28dfsg.1/debian/debathena-lprng/usr/lib/liblpr.la /usr/bin/install -c .libs/liblpr.lai /build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7~ubuntu8.04-amd64-v26GWv/debathena-lprng-3.8.28dfsg.1/debian/debathena-lprng/usr/lib/liblpr.la /usr/bin/install -c .libs/liblpr.a /build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7~ubuntu8.04-amd64-v26GWv/debathena-lprng-3.8.28dfsg.1/debian/debathena-lprng/usr/lib/liblpr.a ranlib /build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7 ranlib: '/build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7': No such file make[3]: *** [install] Error 1 make[2]: *** [src] Error 2 make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make: *** [install] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7~ubuntu8.04-amd64-v26GWv/debathena-lprng-3.8.28dfsg.1/src' make[2]: Leaving directory `/build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7~ubuntu8.04-amd64-v26GWv/debathena-lprng-3.8.28dfsg.1' make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/builder-debathena-lprng_3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu2debathena7~ubuntu8.04-amd64-v26GWv/debathena-lprng-3.8.28dfsg.1' This has come up for us a couple of times because we use --append-to-version to add a backports-style modifier to packages we build. For our purposes, we just modified the Chroot Build Dir to use Package_OSVersion instead of Package_SVersion, but a better solution might be to filter out all tildes in the build dir path.
