Hi, I am still struggling with the setup of a local buildd for testing purposes. I was able to manually build a package, using the command
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sbuild -d unstable -v hello_2.1.1-4 However, after I put a package into build/REDO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat build/REDO acl2_2.9.1-1 unstable and start buildd, I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat daemon.log Mar 8 23:44:22 buildd: Daemon started. (pid=8002) Mar 8 23:44:31 buildd: Updated source-dependencies Mar 8 23:48:48 buildd: Updated apt sources for unstable Mar 8 23:48:49 buildd: Autocleaned apt cache directory for unstable Mar 8 23:48:49 buildd: Starting build (dist=unstable) of: Mar 8 23:48:49 buildd: acl2_2.9.1-1 Bad distribution Mar 8 23:48:49 buildd: sbuild failed with status 2/0 Mar 8 23:48:49 buildd: Assuming all packages unbuilt and adding to REDO: Mar 8 23:48:49 buildd: acl2_2.9.1-1 Mar 8 23:48:49 buildd: Build finished. This is repeated 3 times, then I get Mar 8 23:49:06 buildd: sbuild now failed 3 times in a row; going to sleep Mar 8 23:49:06 buildd: sendmail failed (exit status 1/0) (I guess I can find out the sendmail problem myself, didn't look at it yet). Why does it say "bad distribution"? I have chroots at $ ls -l ~buildd/chroot* lrwxrwxrwx 1 buildd buildd 12 Mar 8 22:57 /home/buildd/chroot-sid -> chroots/sid/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 buildd buildd 12 Mar 8 23:03 /home/buildd/chroot-unstable -> chroots/sid/ /home/buildd/chroots: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Mar 5 22:03 sid The buildd is running as user buildd, not as root, but that is how it should be, isn't it?
