I have exactly the same problem here. When trying to build a package with apt-build, configure fails. When using another mechanism -- apt-get source -b or by just typing ./configure, everything is fine. Only apt-build fails.
It used to work until a recent update, ca. 3 weeks ago. I'm using a fairly recent Sid, apt-build is version 0.12.13. olli -- GnuPG-Key: http://www.sopos.org/pgp/olli.asc NP: nothing
