[Bug 371221] Re: [pbuilder-dist] Use packages from ~/pbuilder/dist_result to satisfy deps

[Andrew Bate]

I am currently working around this bug also.

The suggested workaround to generate a local repository of the packages
that are built in ~/pbuilder/dist_result is a good one, but it is
fragile because we are forced to assume the location of
~/pbuilder/dist_result when writing our ~/.pbuilderrc and hooks.

This is because pbuilder-dist does not export an environment variable
with the build result directory.

Thus if someone were to call pbuilder-dist with the --buildresult option
then everything will break.

If pbuilder-dist exported the build result directory as an environment
variable that would be an improvement because it could be used to write
a more robust ~/.pbuilderrc.

However, the real fix here is to accept the patch by Benjamin Drung.
With that patch there would be no need for workarounds or hacks.
