retitle 393985 Bug#393985: quilt: FTBFS on misconfigured chroots severity 393985 normal thanks
Hello,
the error message you get is: Could not determine the envelope sender
address. Please use --sender.
This happens when quilt fails to retrieve the hostname, ie:
- /etc/mailname does not exist
- `hostname -f` does not return a fqdn
- neither does `hostname`
Ie, it only happens on misconfigured build daemons and chroots ;)
I'll fix the testsuite by using the --sender flag to override your bad
configuration, but I'm lowering the gravity because I don't see as an etch
blocker at all.
Bye, Mt.

Learning and doing is the true spirit of free software -- learning without
doing gets you academic sterility, and doing without learning is all too
often the way things are done in proprietary software.
