Yes I did but I created a propellor property in order o maintain my sbuild chroot.
Indeed this is a detail. So I end up with a tar.gz owned by root:root

Then comes the upgrade whcih changed the owner into sbuild:sbuild.

Why sbuild which is run as root do not want to lock something which is not owned by the root ?

I do not understand  this point.

> sudo chown root:root /var/lib/sbuild/unstable-amd64.tar.gz

thanks, I already done it :)

Cheers
