I think 1061816 was fixed with 0.85.7 and the changelog was just missing the "closes" entry: https://tracker.debian.org/news/1518576/accepted-sbuild-0857-source-into-unstable/ > But, when I try to build a package from withing the unpacked source > tree: > > $ sbuild-qemu --boot=efi --overlay-dir=/dev/shm > sbuild --dist unstable --purge-build=never --purge-deps=never > --chroot-mode=autopkgtest --autopkgtest-virt-server=qemu > --autopkgtest-virt-server-opt --overlay-dir=/dev/shm > --autopkgtest-virt-server-opt --qemu-architecture=x86_64 > --autopkgtest-virt-server-opt --ram-size=2048 --autopkgtest-virt-server-opt > --cpus=2 --autopkgtest-virt-server-opt --boot=efi > --autopkgtest-virt-server-opt > /home/$USER/.cache/sbuild/unstable-autopkgtest-amd64.img > --bd-uninstallable-explainer apt > Error reading configuration: PIUPARTS binary 'piuparts' does not exist or is > not executable at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Conf.pm line 76. > > Now, piuparts is indeed not installed on the host: > > $ apt policy piuparts > piuparts: > Installed: (none) > Candidate: 1.4.1 > Version table: > 1.4.1 800 > 800 http://deb.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages > 500 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages > > However, I thought that setting $run_piuparts = 1 in ~/.sbuildrc caused > piuparts to be run inside the virtual machine guest system, not on the > host system! What made you think that? Is the error message above not clear enough? Do you think it should be improved to make things clearer?

Because it needs to be installed on the host. In the same way as autopkgtest needs to be on the host. What can sbuild improve? Thanks! cheers, josch
