There was a file not found error in there, thanks (unfortunately I 
didn't record exactly what was in there before deleting the file to try 
a fresh attempt).

It seems I screwed up and created a buildd user before installing buildd 
and this prevented the buildd user from being created with the proper 
homedir.

I purged buildd, deleted the user I created and then reinstalled buildd 
and recreated the config (I tried to backup the config before purging 
but I made a bad choice of name for the backup and destroyed it :( ) and 
tried again. Unfortunatley it now fails to start with.

Error reading configuration: Can't use an undefined value as a HASH 
reference at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/ConfBase.pm line 83.

Any ideas on that failure?

Thanks for helping.
