pbuilder and sid.

[Shaul Karl <shaulka@bezeqint.net>]

  How can I create a base.tgz which will be useable for pbuilder with
sid?

    1.
  pbuilder update --distribution sid --logfile
  /var/cache/pbuilder/sid/log/update --override-config --basetgz
  /var/cache/pbuilder/sid/base.tgz

where /var/cache/pbuilder/sid/base.tgz is the one I use for sarge gives
repeated messages of

    W: Retrying to unmount proc
    umount: /var/cache/pbuilder/build/24115/proc: device is busy

      Could not unmount proc, there might be some program 
      still using files in /proc (klogd?).
      Please check and kill it so that I can unmount proc

and indeed mount shows that

    /proc on /var/cache/pbuilder/build/24115/proc type proc (rw)
    /dev/pts on /var/cache/pbuilder/build/24115/dev/pts type devpts (rw)


    2.
pbuilder create also failed.

  pbuilder create --distribution sid --logfile
  /var/cache/pbuilder/sid/log/create

ended with
