Problems with gbp when $TMP != /tmp

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

I'm obviously beaten by bug #725434 when trying to use gbp on a stable
box with libpam-tmpdir.  I followed the workaround and added a hook
script:

$ cat .pbuilder/D10tmp 
#!/bin/bash
# Work around #725434
# example file to be used with --hookdir
#
#create $TMP and $TMPDIR

echo "*******************************************************"
echo "* Use workaroud for bug #725434 and create            *"
echo "*    TMP=$TMP                                         *"
echo "*    TMPDIR=$TMPDIR                                   *"
echo "*******************************************************"

[ -n "$TMP" -a ! -d "$TMP" ] && mkdir -p "$TMP" || true
[ -n "$TMPDIR" -a ! -d "$TMPDIR" ] && mkdir -p "$TMPDIR" || true


which left the following log entry

I: user script /var/cache/pbuilder/build/cow.101629/tmp/hooks/D10tmp starting
*******************************************************
* Use workaroud for bug #725434 and create            *
*    TMP=/tmp/user/0                                  *
*    TMPDIR=/tmp/user/0                               *
*******************************************************

and the problem described in the bug report is not occuring any more.
However, I get a very similar and most probably related problem way
later in the package build process:


   dh_md5sums -O--buildsystem=pybuild
   dh_builddeb -O--buildsystem=pybuild
dpkg-deb: building package `python-pyfaidx' in `../python-pyfaidx_0.4.2-0~bpo8+1_all.deb'.

dpkg-deb: building package `python3-pyfaidx' in `../python3-pyfaidx_0.4.2-0~bpo8+1_all.deb'.

dpkg-deb: building package `python-pyfaidx-examples' in `../python-pyfaidx-examples_0.4.2-0~bpo8+1_all.deb'.

debian/rules:10: recipe for target 'binary' failed
make: *** [binary] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
E: Failed autobuilding of package


The interesting thing here is that while TMP=/tmp/user/0 this
dir is empty and the packaging is done in /tmp/buildd.  If I do

  # cd /tmp/buildd/python-pyfaidx-0.4.2
  # dh_builddeb -O--buildsystem=pybuild
dpkg-deb: building package `python-pyfaidx' in `../python-pyfaidx_0.4.2-0~bpo8+1_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package `python3-pyfaidx' in `../python3-pyfaidx_0.4.2-0~bpo8+1_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package `python-pyfaidx-examples' in `../python-pyfaidx-examples_0.4.2-0~bpo8+1_all.deb'.

this obviously works fine.  (BTW, the package in question is in
git://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/python-pyfaidx.git but this problem
exists for any package.)


I can very easily build the package when simply using the export-dir of
gbp cd to the build directory and simply use pdebuild.  So the problem
is definitely created by gbp.

Any clue?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
