Bug#477416: [pbuilder] debootstrap/cdebootstrap failed.

Wed Apr 23 04:40:58 UTC 2008

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.179
Severity: important

Hi,

When I try to create a clean environment using:

pbuilder create --distribution sid --debootstrap debootstrap

or

pbuilder create --distribution sid --debootstrap cdebootstrap

I get:

pbuilder: debootstrap failed
  -> Aborting with an error
  -> cleaning the build env
     -> removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//10950 and its subdirectories

I tried using other repositories (e.g. ftp.es.debian.org, ftp.us.debian.org and 
ftp.jp.debian.org), using debootstrap instead of cdebootstrap and It fails, too. 
Then, I made a jail using debootstrap and it worked, that's why I think problem 
is related to pbuilder. I'd like to point out that I tested it in 3 different 
computers and the problem is the same.

I have in my /etc/pbuilderrc:
