Comment 5 for bug 595908

Having the same problem on VMWare image of precise under OS X 10.6.8. What's interesting here is that the pbuilder create calls with ARCH=i386 work for me, but ARCH=amd64 are failing with the same symptoms (chroot mount failure followed by debootstrap failed error). I have:

sudo DIST=lucid ARCH=i386 pbuilder create --> works
sudo DIST=lucid ARCH=amd64 pbuilder create --> fails
sudo DIST=maverick ARCH=i386 pbuilder create --> works
sudo DIST=maverick ARCH=amd64 pbuilder create --> fails
sudo DIST=natty ARCH=i386 pbuilder create --> works
sudo DIST=natty ARCH=amd64 pbuilder create --> fails
sudo DIST=oneiric ARCH=i386 pbuilder create --> works
sudo DIST=oneiric ARCH=amd64 pbuilder create --> fails
sudo DIST=precise ARCH=i386 pbuilder create --> works
sudo DIST=precise ARCH=amd64 pbuilder create --> fails
