The user needs to be in root-users or root-groups to allow
build-dependency installation and removal in the chroot.  Do you have
this?

If you could attach your sbuild.conf/.sbuildrc and schroot.conf, that
would be useful.  If this only occurs for specific packages, the build
logs of those packages would also be useful.

It is certainly possible.  If the documentation is missing anything,
I'll add it as soon as we have figured out the problem.


Thanks,
Roger
