Package: sbuild Version: 0.57.3-1 Severity: important When you implemented the change to give explicitely the directory in which to unpack the source package, you included the full version in the name of that directory... however quite a few packages have epochs and their version contains a colon. When you put a filename with a colon as a dependency of some make target, it can lead to strange failures with messages "*** multiple target patterns. Stop.".
See for example the enigmail package: [...] /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules clean make -f /build/user-enigmail_2:0.95.0+1-3.1-amd64-eHJUfP/enigmail_0.95.0+1-3.1/debian/rules.thunderbird MOZ_APP_NAME=icedove clean make[1]: Entering directory `/build/user-enigmail_2:0.95.0+1-3.1-amd64-eHJUfP/enigmail_0.95.0+1-3.1' /build/user-enigmail_2:0.95.0+1-3.1-amd64-eHJUfP/enigmail_0.95.0+1-3.1/debian/rules.thunderbird:56: *** multiple target patterns.

Please choose a directory name with the version stripped from its epoch. Ideally you would use the official name "<source>-<upstream>" so that you also avoid the warnings that appear in some cases: dpkg-source: warning: .orig directory name xjump_2.7.5-4.orig is not <package>-<upstreamversion> (wanted xjump-2.7.5.orig) Cheers, -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sbuild depends on: ii adduser 3.107 add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.7.12 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii dctrl-tools 2.12 Command-line tools to process Debi ii devscripts 2.10.28 scripts to make the life of a Debi ii dpkg-dev 1.14.19 package building tools for Debian ii perl 5.10.0-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.10.0-10 Core Perl modules ii postfix [mail-transport-agent 2.5.2-0 High-performance mail transport ag ii schroot 1.2.0-1 Execute commands in a chroot envir Versions of packages sbuild recommends: ii debootstrap 1.0.9 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii fakeroot 1.9.5 Gives a fake root environment -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
