[Bug 697248] [NEW] [pbuilder-dist] Crash with sudo

[Artur Rona]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

All pbuilder-dist commands crash if you haven't added sudo at start. Example:
$ pbuilder-dist natty update
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pbuilder-dist", line 410, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/pbuilder-dist", line 404, in main
    exit(subprocess.call(app.get_command(args)))
  File "/usr/bin/pbuilder-dist", line 203, in get_command
    except os.OSError:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'OSError'


OK, so I'm adding a sudo and what I see? Warning, but command run and finish successful.
$ sudo pbuilder-dist natty update
[sudo] password for ari: 
Warning: pbuilder-dist running under sudo. This is probably not what you want. pbuilder-dist will use sudo itself, when necessary.
W: /root/.pbuilderrc does not exist
