Make sure that there is not a base.tgz alread there, remove or comment out the APTCONFDIR variable and try it again. Also, make sure that you are running at least pbuilder version 0.128. When I was on IRC a few days ago, Junichi (the developer/maintainer of pbuilder) said that it was really necessary to upgrade as there were problems with the older versions. Personally, I have version 0.128 and was able to create a new pbuilder chroot just now with a configuration that is functionally the same as yours. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
