clicking on "logs" shows a lot of failed attempts https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=r-cran-treescape&arch=amd64 Selecting previously unselected package r-base-core. Preparing to unpack .../116-r-base-core_3.3.2-1_amd64.deb ... dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: dpkg: error: version '' has bad syntax: version string is empty dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-Pz7ptL/116-r-base-core_3.3.2-1_amd64.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: dpkg: error: version '' has bad syntax: version string is empty dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1 [...] Unpacking sbuild-build-depends-r-cran-treescape-dummy (0.invalid.0) ... Errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-Pz7ptL/116-r-base-core_3.3.2-1_amd64.deb W: No sandbox user '_apt' on the system, can not drop privileges E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) apt-get failed. so, unless you fix r-base the build will fail. [edit] this seems to be a bug in dpkg https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=848422 maybe in the next chroot update it will fix by itself (feel free to test in a chroot) dpkg 1.8.17 should have the fix https://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dpkg/news/20161219T030728Z.html G.
