Ok. I understand now. The Debian and cowbuilder build the package as
non-privileged user. However, in my local jail for tests I run root.
The most important is that your package will build in Debian. Thanks
for the explanation.

Don't worry. I want help you.

Going back to the current version, please:

1. Update d/copyright. The current copyright for Troy is 2003-2013.

2. I found:

# This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in
# the OpenSSL Toolkit. (http://www.openssl.org/)
# This product includes cryptographic software written by Eric Young
# (eay@cryptsoft.com)
# This product includes software written by Tim Hudson (tjh@cryptsoft.com)

If you used external codes in your program, you must to put it in
d/copypyright too. The d/copyright must relate all licenses and
copyrights found in upstream code. See this 'drastic' example:
http://sources.debian.net/src/sleuthkit/4.1.3-4/debian/copyright.

3. Is normal this issue?

./08-ssl-connect-no-auth.py python/08-ssl-connect-no-auth.test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "python/08-ssl-connect-no-auth.test", line 36, in <module>
    mosq.loop()
  File "/sponsor/mosquitto2/mosquitto-1.3.4/lib/python/mosquitto.py",
line 725, in loop
./08-ssl-connect-cert-auth.py python/08-ssl-connect-cert-auth.test

    mosq.loop()

line 725, in loop


These are my last questions and requests, I think.

Thanks!
