debuild isn't failing at that. It's attaching file descriptors to dpkg-buildpackage's stdout/stderr to be able to tee dpkg-buildpackage's output into the build log. Therefore, dpkg-buildpackage doesn't detect that it's being run in a terminal. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB
