[ubuntu-dev] Bug#659060: E: Distribution not specified, please specify

[Alessio Treglia]

Package: ubuntu-dev-tools
Version: 0.138
Severity: important

Hi all,

steps to reproduce this bug follow:

 1. cowbuilder-dist sid create
 2. cowbuilder-dist sid login

After running (1), I can launch 'cowbuilder-dist sid update' which works fine, but
that is the only command which would properly work.
Either 'login' or 'build <package>.dsc' don't work at all, some logs follow:
