I guess, this is a problem with debootstrap, which misses to install a few packages. The dependency on debconf seems to a new one. I ran pbuilder update some minutes ago and it told me, that debconf will be installed as a _new_ package. You can do the following. Create a sarge environment. In sarge, there is currently no passwd-dependency on debconf. Then change in /etc/pbuilderrc to DISTRIBUTION=sid and update your image with 'pbuilder update'. Maybe you need to run it as pbuilder update --override-config --configfile /etc/pbuilderrc to make pbuilder recognize the changes in the config-file /etc/pbuilderrc or ~/.pbuilderrc. > Any hints?
