Bug#539301: Pbuilder failed to create chroot for Sid in Lenny

[Junichi Uekawa]

Sounds like a transient error, sid is broken sometimes.  Is it still
broken? It should be fixed either in debootstrap / cdebootstrap, or
the broken packages which fails to install. Nothing much to be done
from pbuilder side.
