Bug Description
Binary package hint: pbuilder
Pbuilder seems to completely ingnore both the --mirror command line option and MIRRORSITE. This is particularly annoying since
http://
appears to be missing. When I set both
MIRRORSITE="http://
and
--mirror http://
I would expect pbuilder to attempt to download from http://
However the attached files show that this does not happen.

The problem is likely that the pbuilder -- stored in the base.tgz file -- does not have the kambing list of packages in the directory /var/lib/apt/lists. You can see what's in there if you unpack base.tgz tarball somewhere and browse into that directory.
Try running:
pbuilder --update --mirror http:// kambing. ui.edu/ ubuntu
before you run the build step.
As a rule-of-thumb, whenever you see an errormessage that looks like this:
Err http:// archive. ubuntu. com hardy/main libatk1.0-0 1.21.92-0ubuntu1
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]
you should update the pbuilder. In this case, it is looking for libatk1.0-0 1.21.92-0ubuntu1, but because hardy is in a state of flux at the moment, this package may be superceeded by a newer version.
I am setting the bug to "incomplete", if you find that the problem persists, please set it back to "New".
