Hi, Summary: when using dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot I get a ``stale NFS file handle'' error and the build stops.
Explanation: when using dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot, dpkg-source stops at ``stale NFS file handle''. I got a few "me too"s from the debian-devel list when I asked. Those people said "i just stopped building on NFS". When I build it on local disk, I get a correct .deb-package, without any errors. So it has something to do with the NFS fs. Can anyone help here?
