Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.199+nmu1
Severity: normal

When running "pbuilder --create --distribution sid", I get this error message:

tmac at tmac:~$ su
Password: 
tmac:/home/tmac# nano /etc/pbuilderrc 
tmac:/home/tmac# pbuilder --create --distribution sid
W: /root/.pbuilderrc does not exist
I: Distribution is sid.
I: Building the build environment
I: running debootstrap
/usr/sbin/debootstrap

E: debootstrap failed
W: Aborting with an error
I: cleaning the build env 
I: removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//2943 and its subdirectories

The same happends with no --distribution argument. My /etc/pbuilderrc is very simply, containing only a mirror:

# this is your configuration file for pbuilder.
# the file in /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc is the default template.
# /etc/pbuilderrc is the one meant for overwritting defaults in
# the default template
#
# read pbuilderrc.5 document for notes on specific options.

I have not modified anything within /etc/pbuilder/. The same problem happens with
MIRRORSITE=http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian
