Hi, "Fun" case. I cannot really reproduce it, but I guess it has to do with our "xz-lzma | lzma" build depedency. As far as I can tell, xz-lzma is no longer available[1], but xz-utils now provides lzma[2]. Given dpkg-dev is build essential there is no way (currently) for xz-utils to be unavailable. I guess it is the "sbuild and virtual packages" issue (or is it "first alternative only")? Admittedly we do not explicitly build depend on xz-utils, which smells like a bug. ~Niels [1] As of xz-utils/5.1.1alpha+20120614-1.
