Bug#668658: pbuilder: Builds hangs when used with qemu-debootstrap on mips, mipsel and powerpc

[Cyril Lavier]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.210
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to use qemu-debootstrap to build packages for other architectures.

But I'm facing problems when building mips, mipsel and powerpc packages (works only with armel) with pbuilder using a chroot made by qemu-debootstrap.

I tried numerous packages, like nginx, apache2, mysql-5.1, and I still have the same result.

When doing the "fakeroot debian/rules clean", it hangs, I've waited for hours, and I finished by hitting the CTRL+C buttons (the ^C) in the log.

Here is the full log for the last nginx 1.1.19-1 build I tried : http://paste.davromaniak.eu/index.php?show=82

The pbuilderrc file I use is here (I use ftp.de.debian.org instead of ftp.fr.debian.org because my server is located in Germany) : https://raw.github.com/davromaniak/scriptomaniak/c7f40d98dcf81dc925f169b6331ab5a44d761c52/pbuilderrc

If you want or need more logfiles or If you want me to do some debugging work, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks.
