[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#687396: sbuild: building pyca fails silently

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.63.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks building other packages, silently

Hi,

When building pyca in wheezy with
  sbuild -D -d wheezy pyca_20031119-0
I get the following output:

So the build fails without any error message being displayed.

I would expect the build to proceed normally (the package can be built manually).
Or at least the "Check arch" subsubsection to be displayed in the log.

Thanks,
