There are (at least) two regressions here: * debi doesn't wait for the installation tool to exit, resulting in it being run with stdin closed. Patch proposed in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/merge_requests/135 or in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/merge_requests/137 (they are equivalent). * If you repeatedly test-build the same package and install it with debi (let's say you are testing foo_1.2-3), debi will only install it the first time. The second and subsequent times, apt will not install it because it sees that foo_1.2-3 is already installed. Patch proposed in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/merge_requests/135 (the fix is to pass --reinstall to apt). I can't tell whether the issue you're having would be fixed by one of the above or whether it's a third regression. smcv
