Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.166
Severity: grave
Justification: Doesn't build anything and gives non-existent error

Hi, I'm using sid and I cannot build anything, gives me some error
related to control file. I've tested with packages already on Debian
archive and that doesn't have any errors so it's clear the problem is
with pbuilder.

Here's the pbuilder output:

ghostbar at mostath:~/dev/debian/pgpdump$ sudo pbuilder build *.deb
