Hello,

thank you for looking at this and for your quick reply.

I can reliably reproduce the problem on at least three different
machines running the current 'unstable' distribution by executing
the following simple script:

#!/bin/sh
CHROOT=chroot.sid

debootstrap --include=libstdc++6,gcc-4.0-base \
 sid $CHROOT http://ftp.debian.org/debian

( echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main"; \
  echo "deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main" ) \
  > $CHROOT/etc/apt/sources.list

chroot $CHROOT sh -c "apt-get -y update; apt-get -y update;\
 DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y build-dep dia; \
 apt-get -y source dia; \
 cd dia-0.94.0; \
 dpkg-buildpackage -b"

What am I doing wrong here? Does the build rely on an external X
server running outside the chroot?
