Yes, thanks. It wasn't clear to me, how pbuilder actually works. I thought that because /var/cache/apt/archives is not accessible from within the chroot, this would not be possible. It didn't cross my mind that /var/cache/pbuilder/aptcache is also outside the chroot. But please add to the FAQ that both /var/cache/apt/archives and the chroot must be located on the same partition. Else hard-linking the debs doesn't work. Thanks, Johannes ~/.signature under construction
