With 'makepkg --asroot' I get a "missing dependencies" error and adding a '-s' flag to that, as I usually would, it compiles the package correctly.

Fascinating, so there's nothing wrong with the chroot then. I have no clue what causes the error in makeahpkg. I've never seen it myself, and I don't think I can figure it out without access to your build machine :(

From what I see in the 'makechrootpkg' script, when running 'makeahpkg' 'makepkg' gets called with:

# sudo -u nobody makepkg -s --noconfirm -L If I try to do that from within the chroot I get the following error, when it comes to install the missing dependencies: sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root? A minimal test case confirms that this is a 'sudo' issue: # sudo -u nobody sudo sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root? Looking for that error message on the internet I get a FAQ about 'sudo' where they say that: "Sudo must be setuid root to do its work. Either /usr/local/bin/sudo is not owned by uid 0 or the setuid bit is not set." But 'ls -l /usr/bin/sudo' in the chroot gives me the expected result: ---s--x--x 1 root root 125834 May 31 11:37 /usr/bin/sudo At the moment I don't have a clue about what could be causing this problem, though.
