Source: sbuild Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
aptitude_0.7.5-2 breaks sbuild during its install-deps stage, when aptitude is used as resolver to install build-dependencies. This is the offending commit: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/aptitude/aptitude.git/commit/?h=debian- sid&id=a865d7dd4040273eda0c012cfd20862de3c6622f This is the portion of the log which exposes the problem: Writing extended state information... Building tag database... E: Could not create directory: /sbuild-nonexistent/.cache: boost::filesystem::create_directory: No such file or directory: "/sbuild- nonexistent/.cache" -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
