Title:
  pbuilder error: "groups: cannot find name for group ID 123"

Status in “pbuilder” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have just started using pbuilder and have a hook script to log me in
  to pbuilder upon error.

  In the package source directory, in this case "xmlwrapp-0.6.2," I
  execute:

   $ sudo pbuilder --build --logfile pbuilder.log ../*.dsc

  The build eventually fails with this error:

   # groups: cannot find name for group ID 123

  There is an existing group with that number in my /etc/group:

   pkcs11:x:123:root

  which is apparently associated with one of the public key packages.

  I have looked at the source code but don't see any real help.

  I have tried setting this in my ~/.pbuilderrc:

   BUILDRESULTGID=999

  but it doesn't change anything.

  I am using Ubuntu 10.10, 64-bit, with pkbuilder installed through the
  package manager and its version shows as: 0.198ubuntu2
