Hi,
tl;dr this is caused by 91b064a0baea0ef37937bce56e5b080ac5a52595.
When building cdbs from sid with 10.4:
14: build hdparm FAILED (hdparm.at:18)
This package has a "common-install-prehook-arch::" rule. That rule is no
longer being called. I had a look and here's what I think is happening:
Dh_Getopt has code like this:
if (! defined $dh{DOPACKAGES} || ! @{$dh{DOPACKAGES}}) {
if ($dh{DOINDEP} || $dh{DOARCH}) {
# User specified that all arch (in)dep package be
# built, and there are none of that type.
if (! $dh{BLOCK_NOOP_WARNINGS}) {
warning("You asked that all arch in(dep) packages be built, but there
are none of that type.");
}
exit(0);
}
push @{$dh{DOPACKAGES}},getpackages("both");
}
to exit if there's no arch/indep packages but you've given -a/-i. This
wasn't being done in the optimised loop introduced by that commit. So we
were continuing to run commands even when there was nothing for them to
act on. Somehow(! don't know exactly why) that confused CDBS.
We can copy that short circuit into the optimised loop and then things
seem good. Here's a patch.
Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] Dh_Lib: When passing -a/-i only, and there are no arch/indep
packages, exit
This was accidentally removed when optimising a common case.
