No, that wasn't it. See my reply to that message that probably arrived by now. > 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.

Since my system is sarge and the base.tgz I want to create is also sarge I am hoping that I can just do that with the pbuilder that comes with sarge, which is 0.123... Meanwhile I notice a bug report called "pbuilder: cannot build sarge basetgz": http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=316135. That's for version 0.127, but might help me too. My /var partition is mounted nodev. I'll remount it dev and see if that helps. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] Public GnuPG key: http://maurits.vanrees.org/var/gpgkey.asc "It can seem like you're doing just fine, but the creep's creeping into your mind." - Neal Morse
