[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#861762: sbuild: apt clean should run after installing build dependencies

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.73.0-4
Severity: normal

With "$apt_clean = 1;" in my ~/.sbuildrc, it appears that apt_clean runs
before the build-dependencies are installed, and so
/var/cache/apt/archive/*.deb files are not removed during the build.

It would be nice if it ran before the build started, but after any
packages have been installed, to save disk space during the build,
especially if running on a tmpfs where disk == ram.


live well,
  vagrant
