VM's may behave differently. Try with a real machine.

Try exactly:

1. By default, a normal user cannot use sudo for obvious security
reasons. So, one needs to enable pbuilder in some sudoers.d file
with "visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/username":

username ALL = PASSWD: /usr/sbin/pbuilder

2. sudo pbuilder

This works.

3. sudo -E pbuilder

This gives an error:

sudo: sorry, you are not allowed to preserve the environment
