Not necessarily. sbuild and pbuilder are only "equivalent" if the chroots
they use have the same packages installed.

If you insist on using pbuilder, I would try to reduce the number of
packages installed in the chroot as much as possible, there is no
canonical chroot set in stone to be used by pbuilder, it uses whatever
it was created by debootstrap when it was invoked for the first time.
If you upgraded the chroot in the meantime, it may easily have some
non-essential packages that may (and should) be removed.

But I would try using sbuild anyway, because that's the program used
by official buildds. Setting up sbuild is quite straightforward really.

If it still does not fail with sbuild in your machine, we can diff a
failed build log and a successful build log to see how they differ.


Disabling the test would be the right thing to do but only as a last
resort.

Thanks.
