From the buildd log, this seems wrong: # Add here commands to install the package into debian/. /usr/bin/make install-full x=".cur" prefix=/build/buildd/lynx-cur-2.8.6dev18/debian/lynx-cur/usr \ libdir=/build/buildd/lynx-cur-2.8.6dev18/debian/lynx-cur/etc/lynx-cur \ docdir=/build/buildd/lynx-cur-2.8.6dev18/debian/lynx-cur/usr/share/doc/lynx-cur \ helpdir=/build/buildd/lynx-cur-2.8.6dev18/debian/lynx-cur/usr/share/doc/lynx-cur/lynx_help \ mandir=/build/buildd/lynx-cur-2.8.6dev18/debian/lynx-cur/usr/share/man/man1 The "prefix" and other vars you pass to configure shouldn't be overriden in make install. You should switch to using "DESTDIR" instead. Even if your package does not use automake, it seems to properly implement DESTDIR support. make install DESTDIR=debian/tmp This is also scary: mv -f /build/buildd/lynx-cur-2.8.6dev18/debian/lynx-cur/usr/bin/lynx.cur /build/buildd/lynx-cur-2.8.6dev18/debian/lynx-cur/usr/bin/lynx.old mv: cannot stat `/build/buildd/lynx-cur-2.8.6dev18/debian/lynx-cur/usr/bin/lynx.cur': No such file or directory m I couldn't reproduce the build failure the buildd experienced neither on my sid, nor in a pbuilder but I think you should fix the above problems first to see clearer in the problem. Perhaps it's a permission problem due to the usage of different umasks on the buildd setups and on our setups? I saw numerous "mkdir" and "cp" calls, which should IMO be install -d and install calls. Oh and you might want to use dh_install and debian/*.install instead of calling install manually.
