Something else strange just happened during an autobuild pass. All of the subdirectories in my build tree have suddenly become inaccessable to the build user, who owns all the files and directories. Here is what I get:
----------------------begin paste--------------------------------- $ user build $ pwd /Debian/build $ cd sbuild sh: cd: sbuild: Permission denied $ ls -l total 9 -rw-rw-r-- 1 build build 59 Oct 5 15:53 build.list -rw-rw-r-- 1 build build 1153 Oct 6 09:47 buildpkgs.log drw-rw-r-- 2 build build 1024 Sep 19 12:06 lists drw-rw-r-- 2 build build 1024 Oct 5 16:04 logs -rw-rw-r-- 1 build build 131 Sep 20 06:54 oldbuild.list -rw-rw-r-- 1 build build 63 Oct 1 11:12 prebuild.list -rw-rw-r-- 1 build build 193 Oct 2 18:09 prebuild1.list drw-rw-r-- 2 build build 1024 Oct 6 09:47 sbuild $ cd logs sh: cd: logs: Permission denied $ ls -l ../ total 4 drwxrwxr-x 7 build build 1024 Oct 5 15:56 build drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 19 10:52 dists drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 16 06:50 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 1024 Oct 4 20:03 pkgwork $ ----------------------end paste------------------------------- Since I couldn't get into them as the build user, I took a look as su and found: $ su Password: dwarf:/Debian/build# ls -l sbuild total 2699 -rw-rw-r-- 1 build build 442398 Oct 6 09:47 tk8.2_8.2.0-3.diff.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 build build 623 Oct 6 09:47 tk8.2_8.2.0-3.dsc -rw-rw-r-- 1 build build 2305473 Oct 6 09:47 tk8.2_8.2.0.orig.tar.gz So, where do I look to figure out why I am not allowed access to these files/directories?
