Thanks for all replies not only this one. A question remains (for me): How to build a package in a clean jessie environment? Seems like the buildds are using sbuild. Is that the preferred way to try out a single package, built on most buildds since 240 days. I'm currently running sid boxes. The package at hand, lam, FTBFS at least on my amd64 box. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
