Yes. A typical output is something like: Automatic build of <package>_<version> on <host> by sbuild/<arch> <version> Build started at <date>-<time> ****************************************************************************** Checking available source versions... Fetching source files... Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... Need to get 192kB of source archives. Get:1 http://incoming.debian.org <package> <version> (dsc) [586B] Get:2 http://incoming.debian.org <package> <version> (tar) [154kB] Get:3 http://incoming.debian.org <package> <version> (diff) [37.8kB] :<arch> not in architecture list: i386 -- skipping ****************************************************************************** Finished at <date>-<time> Build needed 00:00:00, 0k disk space for a package that has Architecture: i386 That's still a bit of time wasted, but it's not really bad. The really problematic version is when a package is downloaded, build-deps are installed, and /then/ sbuild figures out that some version isn't recent enough. > Scratch those then.) -- .../ -/ ---/ .--./ / .--/ .-/ .../ -/ ../ -./ --./ / -.--/ ---/ ..-/ .-./ / -/ ../ --/ ./ / .--/ ../ -/ ..../ / -../ ./ -.-./ ---/ -../ ../ -./ --./ / --/ -.--/ / .../ ../ --./ -./ .-/ -/ ..-/ .-./ ./ .-.-.-/ / --/ ---/ .-./ .../ ./ / ../ .../ / ---/ ..-/ -/ -../ .-/ -/ ./ -../ / -/ ./ -.-./ ..../ -./ ---/ .-../ ---/ --./ -.--/ / .-/ -./ -.--/ .--/ .-/ -.--/ .-.-.-/ / ...-.-/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
