So nice in pbuilder we had another problem with aptitude, and the fix
was the same.

BTW, I used '/root' as XDG_CACHE_HOME.  On second though '/root/.cache'
would have been better, but *shrugs*, I don't think people are going to
do so much stuff in buildd chroots (even if I'll probably switch it in a
later release).
