Hi Julian,

sbuild /should/ be setting this to noninteractive by default.
Every instance of an apt-get or aptitude invocation in the
dependency resolver code sets
	ENV => {'DEBIAN_FRONTEND' => 'noninteractive'},
when we run the command, and /all/ use of apt/aptitude must
go via the resolver module.

Which dependency resolver are you using?  IIRC there was an
issue with one of them, possibly aptitude, not being run
noninteractively a month or so back.  I'm going to release
a new version soon, and if it wasn't fixed in unstable already,
this should fix it.  Please could you try a build with

http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/sbuild-0.60.9.tar.gz
SHA256 229f3ed783e103891ac777d13e700d54891d060731b0a427376c0969fae80938  sbuild-0.60.9.tar.gz


and let me know if it works for you, or still fails?
(It will need a quick dpkg-buildpackage to build.)


Thanks,
Roger
