James Clarke wrote in https://bugs.debian.org/853886#10: "For source-only builds, I don't understand why you would want to perform the build in a chroot. You already have to be able to build the source package outside the chroot, which then gets copied into the chroot, unpacked and a new source package is built; why not use the first source package? If your aim is to check the package builds, you're not actually building any binary packages; you should instead use the new --source-only-changes option, which will build binary packages but also generate a source-only changes." Personally I now use with gbp: --git-pbuilder-options="--binary-indep --source-only-changes" Alternatively Mattia suggested something like: --git-pbuilder debuild -S Greets jre
