That obviously fails.
Shouldn't pdebuild make sure that all the build dependencies are
installed?
I certainly would have expected it to check build dependencies, just as
dpkg-buildpackage does.
You are both confusing pdebuild with pbuilder here.
That's the `clean` step that is failing, which is done outside of the
chroot. That's responsability of whoever is calling `pdebuild` to
satisfy.
If you are sure your source is clean you may as well just skip cleaning
and not use pdebuild:
dpkg-source -b .
dpkg-source --after-build .
pbuilder b ../freetype-py_2.2.0-1.dsc
the above sequence should prove that nothing is at fault here.
But it's more convenient to have the single command pdebuild to use.
It certainly is true that I didn't have python3-setuptools-scm
installed. Installing it enables pdebuild to proceed normally.
As you point out, the problem here is in a clean step performed prior to
activating the pbuilder chroot. (I presume python3-setuptools-scm would
get installed into the chroot, but pdebuild never reaches that step).
It looks to me this is a design flaw in pdebuild itself. It requires
build dependencies to be available outside the chroot, which a) somewhat
contradicts the entire point of chroot building, and b) doesn't check
that those build dependencies are installed anyway.
The problem is not in freetype-py. It's already declared
python3-setuptools-scm as a Build-Dependency.
Bastian, the build proceeds (even with pdebuild) if I have
python3-setuptools-scm installed on my normal system (i.e. outside the
chroot). That's good enough for a pdebuild build.
I notice you've made some edits in the meantime. I think you've fixed
lintian warning redundant-globbing-patterns for debian/changelog in
commit 4422b3b.
But current git no longer builds (even with dpkg-buildpackage) from
changes in freetype-py/setup.cfg (removing [egg_info]). Not sure if it's
a consequence of 40db38e.
Since we've got a workaround for the pdebuild problem, I can upload once
you've got it back in action.
I'll file a bug against pbuilder about the pdebuild problem.
