[Bug 1307909] Re: EXTRAPACKAGES not installed

[Rolf Leggewie]

I just realized that I routinely use the pbuilder-dist wrapper from
ubuntu-dev-tools for my compilation needs and thus it might be a bug in
that package and not necessarily in plain pbuilder.

Title:
  EXTRAPACKAGES not installed

Status in “pbuilder” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “ubuntu-dev-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  man 5 pbuilderrc says

         EXTRAPACKAGES="ccache lintian XXX"
                Specifies  extra  packages which the system should install in the chroot on pbuilder create.  This is a space-delimited list. 
                Also this is installed on pbuilder build

  In reality EXTRAPACKAGES or not installed for the build target.  There
  are two ways to remedy the situation.  1) update the man page to
  reflect the true state of things. 2) change the behaviour of the
  pbuilder to be in line with the man page.
