i.e. you're going to have to do all the tests yourself and it's likely
that unless you work out what is wrong, this bug will not be identified.

dpkg-buildpackage
dpkg-parsechangelog

Also try svn-inject and svn-upgrade.

Also try creating a Wheezy chroot and testing in that.

.. or a misconfiguration somewhere in the base system.

I've tested in a clean pbuilder chroot and svn-bp is fine with it's own
dependencies. Then, when I use `debcheckout svn-buildpackage` and
install it's build-dependencies, it builds itself fine without errors.

Anything and everything. I can't tell you which ones because this
problem only affects this one single machine. I also use svn-bp on
various virtual environments for buildd operations, again without any
errors.

Test on your main system rather than a new box, test on someone else's
virtual box, test in chroots; there's almost nothing we can do at this
end until there is a way to reproduce the problem.

If it only persists on this one system, the chances of identifying the
actual problem approach zero.
