[Gustavo Noronha Silva]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.58.3-1
Severity: normal

I have not had the possibility of testing it correctly yet, but I'm
hoping this will fix the problem for me:

+       if (update($session, $self->get('Config')) || upgrade($session, $self->get('Config'))) {

            $self->log("apt-get update failed\n");

It seems like only apt-get upgrade is getting called. This matches the
output of my log file, indeed.

Thanks,
