Using old software :-| I am using pbuilder backported from unstable (in fact I'm using 0.94), together with some other backports and export EXTRA_CONFIGFILE=""; export FORCE_CONFNEW="" to work around a bash bug. By the way, there's also the possibility of keeping a permanent chroot. While pbuilder is best for verifying build-dependencies and preventing other FTBFS bugs, a permanent chroot is much more convenient for application testing purposes: It's much faster to do just Ctrl-Alt-F8 instead of untarring - working/building - retarring. There is a short explanation in http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-chroot (including how to set up init to get a login prompt on Terminal 8), and there used to be a short pdf document around somewhere, where it is described how to even get an xdm/kdm/whatever login. Ah, there it is: http://javierlinares.com/debian/docs/chroot/chroot.pdf The only thing that's missing in these docs is that I found one has to manually unmount the chroot proc filesystem. I created an init script: ~$ cat /etc/init.d/umountchrootproc #! /bin/sh # # umountchrootproc unmount proc in chroot, so that the parent partition can be unmounted # PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin CHROOT_PROC="proc-sid" case $1 in start|stop) echo -n "Unmounting chroot proc mounts... " for proc in $CHROOT_PROC; do umount $proc done echo "Done." ;; *) ;; esac Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ. Basel Abt.
