Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.4.0 The umask for my account is set to 077. Those portions of dpkg-buildpackage which run as root create files with protection set to 600 and owned by root.root. Because of this, the non-root portions of dpkg-buildpackage cannot access the files debian/files and debian/substvars, generate error messages saying these files cannot be found, and dpkg-buildpackage dies.
