How To Fix buildd: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu buildd is provided by buildd package.

buildd is:

The sbuild suite of programs (buildd and sbuild) are used to build binary packages from source packages. The wanna-build database tracks packages which require building; buildd schedules work from information it gets from the wanna-build database; sbuild does the actual package building.

buildd is a daemon which will build Debian packages automatically using the wanna-build database to identify which packages need to be built. Note that the wanna-build database is not packaged, and requires installing separately.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.
