[pbuilder-dist] cannot use *.dsc from a sshfs directory

[Dariusz Gadomski]

I have observed a strange behavior of pbuilder-dist while interacting with remote files mounted with sshfs.

Reproducability: Always

Steps to reproduce:
1. Mount a remote directory containing your sources and *.dsc files locally via sshfs:
$ sshfs <username>@<ip-address> ~/share
2. Switch to that directory:
$ cd ~/share
3. Use already configured pbuilder-dist to build a package:
$ pbuilder-dist precise amd64 build <your-dsc-file>

Expected result:
Package is being built.

Actual result:
A "E: Command line parameter <your-dsc-file> does not exists" error message is printed.

After copying the sources and dsc files outside the sshfs share pbuilder-dist works correctly.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is the sshfs mount mounted as noexec by chance?

How about nosuid?

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!
