Siegfried and James, thank you for your comments. Siegfried, you are right on the money. I was wondering why it started to work all of the sudden. The reason was quite simply that I had installed pbuilder in the meantime which pulled in debootstrap.
Since pbuilder-dist seems to be pretty useless without debootstrap, I suggest to add a Depends on either pbuilder or debootstrap to ubuntu- dev-tools. -- [Jaunty] pbuilder-dist does not recognize any distributions at all https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334848 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
