Hi Gregor

I finally managed to update the base.tgz with 

pbuilder --update --extrapackages "debhelper quilt scons dh-buildinfo \
mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libglfw-dev libxrandr-dev glee-dev \
libilmbase-dev libdevil-dev libftgl-dev libprotobuf-dev libtinyxml-dev \
libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev"

The list of packages had to be quoted to get them all installed. 

After attempting 
pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal --logfile "../pink-pony."`date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`".pdebuild.log" 

I read the log file and found 
I: Building the build Environment
I: extracting base tarball [/var/cache/pbuilder/base.tgz]
I: creating local configuration
I: copying local configuration
I: mounting /proc filesystem

passwd is already the newest version.
The following extra packages will be installed:
  debootstrap libgcrypt11 libgnutls26 libgpg-error0 libidn11 libp11-kit0
  libtasn1-3 wget
Suggested packages:
  rng-tools pbuilder-uml cowdancer
Recommended packages:
  fakeroot sudo devscripts
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  debootstrap libgcrypt11 libgnutls26 libgpg-error0 libidn11
  libp11-kit0
  libtasn1-3 pbuilder wget
debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed

So the internal pdebuild seemed to be missing quite a bit.
I did an --update --extrapackages as one would but the thing still fails 
with the tail of the log showing 

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I need to review DEBBUILDOPTS because it looks like something is missing there.

Thanks for your time on this.

Kind regards
