My rules file is even simpler, just having this within it:
#! /usr/bin/make -f
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk
Then when I use the svn-b alias (svn-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
--svn-ignore) the output is this:
origDir: ..
dpkg-checkbuilddeps

Command dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot failed in <unknown>, how to
continue now? [Qri?]: Aborting.
I'm still clueless. Anybody have hints on how to debug? The build process is
still a big black box to me.
I did discover the --dont-purge option for svn-buildpackage, it seems to
confirm my idea that the source code is not being copied into the build area.
thanks
Scott
