[Pbuilder-maint] Bug#451835: Bug#451835: pbuilder --create --basetgz <file> expects <file> to be existing

Hi,

> pbuilder was supposed to create it, it was called with --create.
> After omitting the --basetgz option, the default path was chosen and the

Attaching the full log of failure and the real command-line would help
reproducing your problem.
