source, genuinely, or from pbuilder bugs. The number of pbuilder

-Notes on usage of $TMPDIR
-=========================

-

-/tmp, you will find that some errors may occur inside the chroot,
-such as dpkg-source failing.

-There are two options, you may install a hook to create that

-export TMPDIR=/tmp

-in pbuilderrc. Take your pick.

-Notes on pbuilder create
-========================
-

-Try upgrading pbuilder and debootstrap.
-It is currently only possible to create software that handles the
-past. Future prediction features may be added later when
-we can successfully handle the past.
