the reason why sbuild requires an empty target directory, are debootstrap bugs like these that make you loose everything in case a wrong code path is taken: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=833525 Now imagine that you actually had some previously recovered files in lost+found. If you are unlucky, those would then be deleted by a faulty debootstrap. Why don't you just rmdir the directory? Then you also made sure that there is indeed nothing inside that you still need. fsck will re-create it in case it needs it. Thanks! cheers, josch
