Hi Scott, It looks like the version of libcommoncpp2 you're trying to compile, 1.5.1, is available as a Debian package in unstable. Have you tried building from that source package under stable? It may work, depending upon whether or not the build-dependencies can be met in Sarge. Even if trying to build under Sarge doesn't work, you could try looking at the diff.gz [1] to see how the Debian maintainer solved this problem. (He _must_ have solved it somehow, otherwise the package would FTBFS on most of the buildds [2].) I'm working from the assumption that your source tree, although Debianized, is not the official Debian source package. If you *are* building from the official Debian source package from unstable and this happens anyway in your Sarge chroot, I have no idea. [1] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libc/libcommoncpp2/libcommoncpp2_1.5.1-4.diff.gz [2] Not on alpha, mips, or mipsel, since IIRC fakeroot doesn't work there and they actually build things using sudo.
