Yes, I got the version number wrong.  Ooops!

Excellent.  News to me.  Noted.  Thank you.

I guess I'm still learning and breaking all of the rules.  There is 
clearly a fine-granularity for using the bug-tracking system and I 
don't grok it yet.

Thank you very much!

I am doing all I can to

  User Environment
  ----------------
  
  APT_CONFIG=/var/lib/sbuild/apt.conf
  HOME=/sbuild-nonexistent
  LC_ALL=POSIX
  LOGNAME=root
  PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
  SCHROOT_ALIAS_NAME=unstable-amd64-debomatic
  SCHROOT_CHROOT_NAME=unstable-amd64-debomatic
  SCHROOT_COMMAND=env
  SCHROOT_GID=0
  SCHROOT_GROUP=root
  
SCHROOT_SESSION_ID=unstable-amd64-debomatic-ec0767d2-2cee-45af-a819-ff581f252f97
  SCHROOT_UID=0
  SCHROOT_USER=root
  SHELL=/bin/sh
  USER=root
  XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0
  XDG_SESSION_ID=c31191

When I ran my test suite as the root user on any ol' box, I was able to
reproduce the errors that were showing up in the debomatic build log.  So, I
adjusted my test suite and now it succeeds.

Sorry to be causing you extra work Mattia, but I do appreciate the support
from you and Gianfranco.

Best regards,

-Martin
