It seems to be a random issue. Apparently I was unlucky as it failed twice in a row for me (when doing archive rebuilds, I automatically retry failed builds once to avoid random issues). Doing: for i in $(seq 0 9); do su user42 -c 'sbuild -n -A -s --force-orig-source --apt-update -d unstable -v xapian-bindings' &> xapian$i.log ; done I get: # grep Status xapian?.log xapian0.log:Status: attempted xapian1.log:Status: attempted xapian2.log:Status: attempted xapian3.log:Status: successful xapian4.log:Status: attempted xapian5.log:Status: successful xapian6.log:Status: successful xapian7.log:Status: attempted xapian8.log:Status: successful xapian9.log:Status: attempted Note that this machine has 64 cores, but I didn't set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=n. So it seems that the buildsystem somehow tries to figure out the number of available cores and use that.(?) Lucas
