[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#826942: sbuild: buildd-uploader hangs if a stale lockfile is present

[Johannes Schauer]

Hi,

thanks for the explanation! Things are much clearer now.

Unfortunately, even though I seem to be the currently most active team member,
I really have little to no clue about the buildd part of sbuild. So if you have
a patch, then that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
