[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#840575: sbuild bpo: uses non-available option gnupg --pinentry-mode

[Thomas Goirand]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.71.0-2~bpo8+1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

Dear backport maintainer,

Since the upload of sbuild 0.71.0-2~bpo8+1 to stable backport, running
sbuild-update --keygen leads to this error message:

gpg: Invalid option "--pinentry-mode"

Indeed, it looks like --pinentry-mode isn't available in gnupg 1.4.18-7 which
is in Jessie. Since there's no backport of gnupg 2.1.x, this makes sbuild from
jessie-bpo completely broken, considering one need to run sbuild-update --keygen
to start using sbuild.

This simple patch to ChrootSetup.pm line 277 fixes the issue:

Please apply this patch to sbuild 0.71.0-2~bpo8+1 and upload the fix.

Thanks for maintaining this sbuild backport: it is very useful, especially that
$clean_source = 0; isn't available in Jessie's version of sbuild (if you know a
workaround for this without jessie-bpo, please let me know).

Cheers,
