Bug#630932: pbuilder: --preserve-buildspace is ineffective

[Toni Mueller]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.199+nmu1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Hi,

while trying to debug a problem with my pbuilder configuration, I found
that the build space (/var/cache/pbuilder/build) was always deleted.
After some debugging, I contrived the following patch that solves the
problem for me:

+      return
+  fi
+  echo "clean_subdirectories(): preserve the build environment"
   if [ -z "$1" ]; then
       log "E: Fatal internal error in clean_subdirectories"
       exit 1;



Kind regards,
