Great - thanks for checking. That confirms something specific to me. It turned out to be the following setting in my ~/.gbp.conf: cleaner = fakeroot debian/rules clean I don't recall why or when I added that; but after removing, the build works with this command: gbp buildpackage --git-debian-branch=debian/main I notice the file debian/gbp.conf contains debian-branch = debian/master should that be "debian/main" instead? Finally, I note that using the clean target results in the same set of files removed. I guess that's intentional but I don't understand why it's not a problem for others. Maybe no-one is building in the git tree? Anyway, problem solved: thanks a ton, Thorsten! -Steve
