OK, I'm now creating an empty copyright file in my debian package. So
this error is gone.

But I'm still seeing the build fail.
And I'm unable to pinpoint exactly *what* fails.
Symptom is that an ubifs is created but it is missing the busybox and
dash packages (which of course are essential). I nowhere see that the
finetuning is executed, except for the remove actions (I'd expect at
least an error message why this happens but can't find one). There isn't
any Python Traceback anymore.

When I retrieve the elbe-report.txt it doesn't indicate that busybox and
dash packages are installed (in the section "Target Package List"). But
the packages *are* downloaded in the log (see below) and the *are* in
the generated "source.xml" in the <pkg-list> in the <target> section.

I'm running
elbe v 12.2 debian 9.11
for debian oldstable (stretch) and I'm trying to build a buster image.
Is this supported (building buster on stretch) at all?

I'm doing
elbe control --build-bin build $(cat elbe.prj)
elbe control wait_busy $(cat elbe.prj)
(after building my own debian package with elbe pbuilder which seems to
succeed).

The standard error output of the last command contains just the line
"Project build was not successful, current status: build_failed"
The standard output of the wait_busy command is available from:
http://project.runtux.com/pbuilder-wait.log
