Answer 1

OK, let's troubleshoot your problem and give you a mini-tutorial along the way.

I have Pastebin'd the build-log here to get line numbers for reference.

1. The build aborts with this error at line 613:

   /bin/sh: 1: glib-compile-schemas: not found
   make[1]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 127
   

2. OK, so it's missing the binary called glib-compile-schemas. To find out which package supplies this, we can use the apt-file utility (install first):

   izx@ppauvm:~$ apt-file find glib-compile-schemas
   libglib2.0-0: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/glib-compile-schemas
   libglib2.0-bin: /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas
   

3. This tells us that for your build architecture, i386 (32-bit), the binary /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas is provided by the package libglib2.0-bin.

4. Searching the build log for libglib shows that libglib2.0-0 is installed, but apparently libglib2.0-bin is not:

   The following packages will be upgraded:
   apt apt-transport-https libapt-pkg4.12 libgcrypt11 libglib2.0-0
   

5. So to hopefully solve this problem, make libglib2.0-bin an explicit build dependency in the debian/control file, and re-upload your package to Launchpad. It builds on your local system because you certainly have that package installed :)

Answer 2

Looks like you need to add libglib2.0-bin as a build dependency as that contains the missing glib-compile-schemas.
