[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#535911: sbuild fails to run when $build_dir is set

[Andres Mejia]

Package: sbuild
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

sbuild and any other sbuild command will fail to run when the $build_dir
variable is set in the config files. Problem is it's not set in Conf.pm.
Currently in the config file, it has to be set as 'my $build_dir'.

I've attached a patch that resolves this.
