OK, sounds convincing. > But I would try using sbuild anyway, because that's the program used > by official buildds. Setting up sbuild is quite straightforward really. Ahem, I tried and ended up with Unpacking sbuild-build-depends-core-dummy (0.invalid.0) ... Setting up sbuild-build-depends-core-dummy (0.invalid.0) ...

For the moment I'll go with this last resort (admitting that I'm not really happy about it but it seems nobody else is able to care better). Again thanks a lot for your hints and patience Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
