There’s another REJECT issue in the other direction: Some buildds do not keep their chroots up to date, which leads to builds of, for example, mksh in experimental, to be REJECTed because they (correctly) have B-U on a version of eglibc older than what’s currently in sid (but newer – or older – than wheezy’s) because that’s what was installed on the buildd at the time of building mksh-static. This basically means that source packages that generate binary packages that have Built-Using fields *must* have sbuild run an apt-get dist-upgrade before the build. Currently, buildd seems to hard-code the behaviour to run an apt-get update but neither an apt-get upgrade nor an apt-get dist-upgrade. There is also no way for a source package to communicate this requirement. So please brainstorm on a fix. In the meantime, dear fellow buildd admins, please do run apt-get dist-upgrade (following an apt-get update if you don’t persist those) in *all* of your buildd chroots frequently and handle those REJECTs caused by Built-Using by give-back on the package in question (after upgrading the chroot).
