I understand that, but I am nor Perl expert, neither have time to
become one, so unless somebody tells me what to do, chances that I can
do anything on my own are minimal. If that `svn-buildpackage` was
written in Python, I'd just run 'python -v -m pdb `which
svn-buildpackage`' and could get you the source line with the error in
no time.

Both work as expected.

Both fail with the same 'Illegal instruction'.

Oh no. That's too hardcore. I don't want to pollute this VM more than necessary.

I suspect that Bcfg2 could break some things, but you've seen the
dependencies yourself. There is no hardcore hacking on this box,
especially with Perl.

As I said - I am not a Perl expert, but in Python world if Python code
misbehaves so badly that it doesn't even execute - I am able to figure
out what happens very quickly regardless of the platform (well, unless
it is some web-service that requires os-specific methods to get to the
entrypoint).

I certainly don't have time for that, and I am not running Debian
anywhere else.

I see. I good reason to consider decoupling our application from
Debian. Thanks for trying, though. ,)

i.e. you're going to have to do all the tests yourself and it's likely
that unless you work out what is wrong, this bug will not be identified.

dpkg-buildpackage
dpkg-parsechangelog

Also try svn-inject and svn-upgrade.

Also try creating a Wheezy chroot and testing in that.

.. or a misconfiguration somewhere in the base system.

I've tested in a clean pbuilder chroot and svn-bp is fine with it's own
dependencies. Then, when I use `debcheckout svn-buildpackage` and
install it's build-dependencies, it builds itself fine without errors.

Anything and everything. I can't tell you which ones because this
problem only affects this one single machine. I also use svn-bp on
various virtual environments for buildd operations, again without any
errors.

Test on your main system rather than a new box, test on someone else's
virtual box, test in chroots; there's almost nothing we can do at this
end until there is a way to reproduce the problem.

If it only persists on this one system, the chances of identifying the
actual problem approach zero.

Done. Didn't help. This system is brand new VM box - there is no extra
stuff installed, so it is not usual desktop or server box on steroids.

What should I run to check?

Yes.
$ svn --version

Not sure how should I check this.

dpkg-parsechangelog works ok.

Do you get problems with any other Perl scripts?

Can you reinstall the package in case of some corruption problems?

(apt-get --reinstall install svn-buildpackage)

The first commands svn-buildpackage tries are calls to subversion
itself and that's probably the first place to check for something which
is compiled.

Does subversion work on your system?

I don't know how to be more specific.

$ svn-buildpackage --svn-verbose
Illegal instruction
$ which svn-buildpackage
/usr/bin/svn-buildpackage
$ less `which svn-buildpackage`
#!/usr/bin/perl
...
$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl

Hi,

thanks for trying to improve Debian!

Can you be a bit more specific? When exactly did you encounter this
behaviour. I've never seen this before. A test case would be nice. Also,
please run svn-buildpackage with --svn-verbose to have a bit more
output.

Thanks!
