As you can see there are man pages but not the relative binaries!

Confirmed.
Building it with pbuilder however worked out ok.

I've uploaded it to my PPA and the result is the same (see http://ppa.launchpad.net/blueyed/ubuntu/pool/main/b/bitbake/).

This package fails to build correctly on the ubuntu build system(s).

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

PPA build log is at:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9928858/buildlog_ubuntu-gutsy-i386.bitbake_1.8.2-1~ppa1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Adding a "docbook-xml" build dependency fixes this. I'll provide a debdiff to fix this for Gutsy.

In the Ubuntu build system, the build gets interrupted by:
--------------------------
XMLLINT ./usermanual.xml
error : Operation in progress
./usermanual.xml:7: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"

Document ./usermanual.xml does not validate
make[1]: *** [lint] Error 3

--------------------------

I guess, that when using pbuilder (and with the Debian build system) the external entity gets loaded, but the Ubuntu build system does not allow this.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

The specific issue is that the buildds do not have network access, and so cannot reach the external entity. Unfortunately, mocking this in local build environments is yet an unsolved issue.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Uploading.
