I've switched to 14.04, and my script with the commands I'm issuing is below, but I'm still getting the following in the logs:
E: Package 'cowdancer' has no installation candidate
I: unmounting dev/pts filesystem

So I ran those two exports you gave me and added "-c precise" to my utils call, but it still seems to be running into that pbuilder bug.  Here's the output or log/precise-amd64:

I am trying to tweak mod_spandsp in master and deb package the code for use in my application.

I'm running "./debian/util.sh build-all -ibn -z9 -f /tmp/modules.conf" but it consistently gets stuck at "Building sid-amd64 debs.." 

First off, I'm not sure if this is the correct way to package custom changes, but also why is the debian build stuck at this step?

Thanks!
