So I would love to use pbuilder on my fancy fast computer. It runs sarge. So when I try to make a sid chroot on it, it blows chunks because it wants to install a package that no longer exists in sid. I can't even see a way to say "don't bother installing package foo", which would presumably be a perfectly sensible workaround. The bug logs are not helpful; they amount to a more-or-less complacent attitude that stable pbuilders will always have problems making unstable chroots. This is a disaster, and the solution for me is *not* to go ahead and run unstable or backported software on a critical server. So, since you have some control over pbuilder and cdebootstrap, is there a long-term solution here? (Perhaps, just perhaps, cdebootstrap might fetch from the archive the list of packages that it should install, rather than a hard-coded list.) But I don't really know, and I had trouble getting a clear impression from the bug logs. Pardon me if I've missed something obvious or misunderstood something.
