Exactly, fixed now in 1.15.8.2. > However, I think sbuild is buggy here: it is friendlier to allow a > command to be overridden by putting a better version in /usr/local/bin/ > (as policy ยง6.1 hints). > > In other words, how about something vaguely like this patch? (not tested) I agree with this. Even though I'm guessing the usage of absolute paths might have been to try to make the code more robust, using only command names makes it more future proof, as it allows those binaries to move on the file system if need be, in addition to what Jonathan said about allowing overriding. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
