The question is how you call pbuilder. I always call it on dsc files, and then it just unpacks the chroot and builds the package. You probably use debuild - well, then you're on your own. If you unpack a source package on your system and want to execute targets from debian, you should have the build-deps installed (Build-Dep-Indep actually for clean). Why don't you just use the dsc file? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
