Bug#631087: failed to create base.tgz

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.199+nmu4
Followup-For: Bug #631087

I've come up with a workaround. Use cdeboostrap instead of debootstrap:

apt-get install cdebootstrap
dpkg --purge debootstrap
pbuilder --create --debootstrap cdebootstrap

:-)
