• Bug#265998: fails to build any package

    From Robert Millan@1:229/2 to All on Mon Aug 16 10:10:08 2004

    Package: sbuild
    Version: 0.30
    Severity: grave
    Justification: renders package unusable

    Looks like sbuild is not parsing current apt-cache output correctly, and apparently the array of versions ends up being uninitialised. The following error happened me with every package I tried:

    Automatic build of bc on bilbo by sbuild/i386 1.169
    Build started at 20040816-0959 ****************************************************************************** Checking available source versions...
    Checking available source versions...
    Can't find source for bc
    (only different version(s) 1.06-15 found)

    I've been unable to trace it further because of my perl illiteracy. I'm
    sorry but I have to set severity to grave since unless I'm missing something
    it doesn't work with any configuration.
