There's nothing wrong in dpkg-buildpackage. The build target is called _without_ root rights. Only the clean and binary target are supposed to have root rights. However your build target depends on binary-src and binary-src contains the call chown -R root.root $(TMPSRC). You should arrange your build system to have the operations that require root to be called when debian/rules binary is called and not when debian/rules build is called. I've been digging around in this, and have found something extremely peculiar. This odd behavior only appears when trying to build release -45, but not -44. As far as I can tell, the differences between the two are very minor. I can't figure out what broke between -44 and -45 that has caused dpkg-buildpackage to fail. The rules file is the same in both releases, yet one builds and the other fails. Do you have any ideas why that might be? This bug is the last bug holding me back from uploading a new qmail- src for lenny. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Cheers!

If you use fakeroot to call dpkg-buildpackage, it works prefectly. Something is wrong with the way that dpkg-buildpackage is calling fakeroot. The chown calls work perfect, and you can build the package using a different syntax. Not sure what you need done here.

Something is wrong with the way that dpkg-buildpackage is calling fakeroot. The chown calls work perfect, and you can build the package using a different syntax. Not sure what you need done here. dpkg-buildpackage only uses fakeroot et al for the clean and binary targets, not the build target; your binary-src target is depended upon by your build target, which gets run without fakeroot (before the binary targets). I believe this done specifically as compiling software often doesn't work too well with fakeroot. From inspection, it look like if you simply remove the 'binary-src' dependency from your build target, dpkg-buildpackage will work happily, but I haven't tested this.

Just noticed how Ubuntu fixes this: http://patches.ubuntu.com/q/qmail/qmail_1.03-45ubuntu1.patch I think this is an incorrect fix; the rules file shouldn't be invoking fakeroot itself! May be worth pointing this out to them if you fix this.
