hardinfo FTBFS, but cannot reproduce

[Jacob Peddicord]

I've been trying to figure this out for the past couple of days, but
no matter what I use to build hardinfo 0.5c-1 (sync), it builds
successfully on my pbuilder instance (yay). However, I'm getting
failed build messages from Launchpad.

I understand the error is that there are files in /usr/local (well,
from what I can see hardinfo creates /usr/local but does not put
anything in it). That's fine, that can be fixed. But why can't I
reproduce the FTBFS on my own pbuilder? How will I know whether a fix
I've made will actually work without actually uploading it? I've
updated my pbuilder, cleared it, recreated it, but the package still
builds reliably. Yes, I'm using --variant=buildd. Also tried grabbing
sources straight from the Launchpad build page.

Help on this would be appreciated. Build logs are linked below.
