Bug#794669: pbuilder: pdebuild ignores --pbuildersatisfydepends without --use-pdebuild-internal

[Axel Beckert]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.215+nmu4

Hi,

pdebuild seems to ignore or not properly pass the
--pbuildersatisfydepends option.

pbuilder uses aptitude by default internally by default. But aptitude
currently segfaults inside pbuilder due to the libstdc++6/gcc-5
transition (see https://bugs.debian.org/794594):

aptitude: symbol lookup error: aptitude: undefined symbol: _ZN7cwidget7widgets5pager8set_textERKSsPKc

So I tried to use a satisfydepends without aptitude and have chosen
pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic:

~/aptitude/aptitude → fgrep aptitude /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic
~/aptitude/aptitude → pdebuild --pbuildersatisfydepends /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic --debbuildopts -j5

So despite I explicitly requested to a satisfydepends without aptitude,
one with aptitude is being used.

>From a first glance at /usr/bin/pdebuild it seems that
--pbuildersatisfydepends is only honoured if --use-pdebuild-internal is
given, too.

And indeed, using --use-pdebuild-internal helps.

So this may be a pure documentation issue. Not sure if this constraint
was planned.
