Then it's a different (and known) problem. I'm not sure what autobuilders are, however on http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=aegis I can see some succesfull build (ia64 and m68k). Is it the right page? If I'm not wrong pbuilder need to be run as root, because it need to populate /dev/. On the other hand Aegis is not supposed to be invoked by root. > So, trying to reproduce the failure means that you *have* to build the > package with pbuilder. I've looked in the past at fixing the problem of running the testsuite under pbuilder. *If* there is interest I can look at it again, however I may need help From someone with a good knowledge of pbuilder and/or fakeroot. A change-set related to this issue has been integrated the (upstream) development branch, maybe it can be backported. I'll investigate. -- Walter Franzini http://aegis.stepbuild.org/ PGP Public key ID: 1024D/CB3FEB43 Key fingerprint : FA26 C33B CAFF 7848 EFEB 7327 96AA 2D57 CB3F EB43 Key server : http://www.keyserver.net
