I tried removing "libpam-tmpdir" and it works. Thanks

I recently started seeing this behavior as well, however I don't have
libpam-tmpdir installed.

I have neither $TMP nor $TMPDIR set in my environment.

Attached is a debug build log, in case it's of any use.

I tried to reproduce the problem. After having installed libpam-tmpdir I get
the same errors as you do, so success!

But now I wonder how to fix the problem. It seems that the package sets $TMP
and $TMPDIR to /tmp/user/1000 for me. I guess the last bit is my user id. But
then it fails to create that last component of that directory. This is why
dpkg-deb in your log is unable to create a temporary directory. The path that
$TMP and $TMPDIR are set to simply doesn't exist. At least on my system.

Can you confirm that observation?

Thanks!

cheers, josch

It's libpam-tmpdir that's breaking this somehow - no idea how, but removing
libpam-tmpdir from my system allows it to work again.

Bug#856434: sbuild: Fails to build anything in Debian chroots, Ubuntu ones work fine

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.73.0-4
Severity: important

Fails with a lot of errors for Debian chroots, but it works perfectly fine
with Ubuntu ones. Not sure what's going wrong here. I think this has been
going on for months, but I often forget about it because I don't do much
binary building anymore (mostly just letting CI pass & upload source these
days).

Attached is a complete log from a Debian chroot and the head of a build
in an ubuntu chroot
