Policy only say clean might need root rights to clean up a previous build (done as root or sudo). It does not say clean will/must be called as root as it says for other targets. Imho dh_testroot in clean is wrong. Newly downloaded sources should never ever need it and building with fakeroot avoids the need for root in clean later too. Maybe dh_testroot should create a stamp dir+file and clean target should remove the stamp dir+file, e.g. with dh_testroot_clean, ensuring clean has sufficient permissions to cleanup after a build (otherwise removing the stamp file fails with permission denied).

martin f krafft [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi all, I am trying to use distcc to compile Debian packages and kernels, and am failing. The reason is that I need to use distcc-over-SSH, but the Debian compile process is run as (fake)root. Thus, it tries to use /root/.ssh for configuration and node verification, which is not accessible to the normal user. The reasons seems to be that OpenSSH uses getpwnam to obtain the real UID's home directory, rather than $HOME. This is probably a security measure. Has anyone else run into this problem? How could I work around it? ssh -i usualy helps. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
