Control: severity -1 important Control: tags -1 + upstream Hi Mark Hindley,
thanks for your report. See below. * Mark Hindley <m...@hindley.org.uk> [200505 13:27]: > Unfortunately the testsuite fails when building in a pbuilder/cowbuilder > chroot.

Could you put this into a patch that has the proper Signed-off-by headers so this can be fixed upstream, please? > misc/mountpoint: This assumes / is a mountpoint which is not the case in a > chroot. > > Patches addressing both of these failures are below.

Well, as long as we are trading implementation details, I'd rather stay with something that already works within sbuild and on the buildd network. > Thanks. > > Mark Best, Chris
