Package: quilt
Version: 0.46-6
Severity: normal

During an attempt at autobuilding a backport of quilt, I got a FTBFS due
to a failure to complete the tests. Everything else in the build log
looked fine up until that point. Specificially,

[76] $ mkdir -p .pc/test3/dir -- ok
[77] $ touch .pc/test3/dir/file -- ok
[78] $ chmod a-rx .pc/test3/dir -- ok
[80] $ quilt delete "test3" -- failed

make: *** [debian/stamp-makefile-check] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

The autobuild process is running as root (mainly because it's actually
designed to both build + install packages on the machine and I haven't
gotten around to doing the right thing re: only needing root for
install) on a local ext3 filesystem. It's also a bit of a funny machine,
in that I'm trying to build Debian packages on a Ubuntu machine so
it might not be trivially fixable, but any help would be appreciated.

Any ideas on what I can do to debug this?
