Typo? I guess "main" is missing.

[disclaimer: I'm not the cowbuilder maintainer, and I use it via gbp.] Not sure, what you refer to in man cowbuilder. Anyway, this works for me: (note: BINDMOUNTS is needed for the local repository. All variables are set up so that you can set them multiple times and their values get concatenated, no specific syntax needed besides that): $ cat ~/.pbuilderrc OTHERMIRROR="${OTHERMIRROR}${OTHERMIRROR:+|}deb [trusted=yes] file:///home/jens/development/wine/REPO ./" BINDMOUNTS="$BINDMOUNTS /home/jens/development/wine/REPO" # execute D05deps with "apt update" HOOKDIR="/home/jens/development/wine/pbuilder.hooks" EXTRAPACKAGES="$EXTRAPACKAGES apt-utils" $ cat /home/jens/development/wine/pbuilder.hooks/D05deps #!/bin/sh set -e apt update Greets jre
