[Bug 140964] Re: pbuilder-dist tries Ubuntu mirror for Debian distro

[Adrien Cunin]

The problem seems to be that pbuilder finds out which components to use from the $COMPONENTS var defined in pbuilderrc.
Therefore, if pbuilderrc contains restricted|universe|multiverse, the Debian pbuilder creation will fail.
I don't see any good fix for this, as there is no way to specify which components to use via the command line. This is a bug, reported as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=422371

So, the workaround for now is to set $COMPONENTS to main only in
pbuilderrc.

** Summary changed:

- pbuilder-dist tries Ubuntu mirror for Debian distro
+ pbuilder-dist tries Ubuntu components for Debian distro

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools
  
  pbuilder-dist does not currently specify ''--mirror" and so defaults to
  Ubuntu even if the distribution specified is Debian.
+ 
+ 
+ update: it does not specify which components to use, and we can't do that via the command line yet.

** Changed in: ubuntu-dev-tools (Ubuntu)
