Hi, I'll just write a mail here to notify people using pbuilder, that sid is a wild place.
My testsuite tells me that currently Debian sid/etch is not debootstrap'able. This is due to several problems, including g++ ABI transition breaking aptitude. However, the good news is that you should be able to create sarge chroot, and then upgrade to sid. A command-sequence like the following should work: pbuilder create --distribution sarge pbuilder update --distribution sid --override-config It's a bumpy ride in sid right now, but this is your workaround.
