Bug Description

sbuild 0.74.0-1 brings many new improvements to the tool that developers who happen to install the LTS (e.g. developers for Ubuntu LTS-based derivatives et. al) would greatly benefit from having.

Here is the complete changelog (from Debian) for this new upstream release:

sbuild (0.74.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release
  * Install dose-distcheck and lintian for the native architecture
  * remove DCMD config value which is not used and just uselessly making
    libsbuild-perl depend on devscripts
  * use dpkg-query instead of grep-status so that dependency on grep-dctrl is
    not needed anymore
  * suppress schroot writing to stderr in sbuild-createchroot
  * check for modprobe in sbuild-createchroot
  * Add missing newline character to a bunch of error messages
  * dose3 failures no longer mask the --build-deps-failed-commands
  * Build arch: all packages by default (closes: #870263)
  * Run lintian by default (closes: #870263)
  * sbuild-createchroot: add --command-prefix (closes: #870260)
  * add sbuild-debian-developer-setup package (closes: #859867)

Among these changes are things like running Lintian by default and --command-prefix which I know I'll personally use.

I volunteer to complete this merge from Debian should this FFe be accepted.

Thanks.

I have no objections from the Launchpad side. Our base system is currently always xenial, and we run sbuild from that, so we aren't going to be taken by surprise by an upgrade in bionic. When we upgrade, we'll test it and make any necessary adjustments then, so you don't need to block on us.

sbuild is missing a dep on lintian, (rightfully) making the autopkgtests fail.

Depending on how quick Debian is with this, I might upload a quick fix to Ubuntu so this can migrate and then send to Debian.

This bug was fixed in the package sbuild - 0.75.0-1ubuntu1

---------------
sbuild (0.75.0-1ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian Sid (LP: #1756195). Remaining changes:
    - no-pkg-mangle-deps.patch: Set NO_PKG_MANGLE=1 when building dummy
      packages, as pkgbinarymangler's dpkg-deb expects to be run from a source
      package.
    - utf-8-by-default.patch: Switch to C.UTF-8 by default.
    - abs-path-revert.patch: Revert upstream commit that breaks lp-buildd by
      causing symlinks to files not ending in .dsc to no longer be buildable.

sbuild (0.75.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release.
  * buildd: only build arch:any packages (closes: #893608)
  * buildd: do not run lintian
  * remove harmful unnecessary lintian binary check (closes: #893226)
