Package: cowbuilder
Version: 0.57
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Freshly installed cowbuilder package (along with its pbuilder, cowdancer and 
cdebootstrap dependencies) fail with messages:

P: Unpacking package apt
P: Configuring package libbz2-1.0
P: Configuring package libusb-0.1-4
E: Internal error: install 
E: cdebootstrap failed 
W: Aborting with an error  
pbuilder create failed 
  forking: rm -rf /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow      

All the previous steps of package download and configuration went
apparently smoothly, including the two following:

P: Configuring package dpkg 
P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-rc.d
P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-makedev


Note that the /var/cache/pbuilder directory was empoy when the `cowbuilder 
--create' command was run.

Because of the last error message, I wondered if the bug is not in
cdebootstrap. I thus unistalled all the packages, installed
debootstrap and then cowbuilder and run the following command:

# cowbuilder --create --buildplace /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow \
  --mirror http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ --distribution sid \
  --debootstrap debootstrap --basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/base-test.cow

Unfortunately, no better results:

I: Configuring libtimedate-perl...
I: Configuring g++...
I: Configuring dpkg-dev...
I: Configuring build-essential...
W: Failure while configuring base packages.
