It should come up as Version == '~*=PROVIDED=*=' later on, but it aborted before that. sbuild looks for the packages providing the package name in Sbuild::InternalResolver::get_virtual. This should be equivalent to apt-cache --names-only search '^sysvinit$' | sed -e 's/\([^[:space:]][[:space:]]*\)[[:space:]].*/\1/' What do you get in your chroot for the above? If you set $resolve_virtual=0 in your config, does this then work OK? TBH, fixing this might be really tricky, so it might be best to disable installing the essential package set by default when using the internal resolver. Even the virtual dependency rewriting in virtual_dependencies could do the wrong thing if a package providing it vdep other than the one we pick is already installed; the aptitude resolver is really the way to go since the internal resolver is such a hairy mess it's really difficult to change without breaking stuff. I'm tempted to back out even the virtual_dependencies change. Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
