Package: devscripts X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Version: 2.26.9 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, Since Build-Path is an optional field, debrebuild should work without it. dpkg-genbuildinfo only sets it if it starts with '/build/'. What actually happens: $ mkdir -p /tmp/debrebuild $ cd /tmp/debrebuild/ $ wget https://buildinfos.debian.net/buildinfo-pool/h/hello/hello_2.12.3-1_amd64.buildinfo Edit the buildinfo file to remove the field: @@ -18,7 +18,6 @@ Build-Origin: Debian Build-Architecture: amd64 Build-Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 08:56:42 +0000 -Build-Path: /build/reproducible-path/hello-2.12.3 Installed-Build-Depends: autoconf (= 2.72-6), automake (= 1:1.18.1-4), $ debrebuild hello_2.12.3-1_amd64.buildinfo --buildresult=./out --builder=mmdebstrap ...

I've attached a patch that sets the build path to /build/$srcpkgname-$upstream_ver for the dpkg and mmdebstrap builders. It's not ideal but it does resolve the problem.
