Sounds plausible. That fact that pbuilder copies /etc/resolv.conf into the chroot each time also does not help :/ > This is, I think, the exact same problem as #759799 (which is btw severity: > important).

I don't know how many packages are affected but it's not the first time I've seen questions around USENETWORK= coming up in recent bug reports. - #769670 being one of them e.g. > A simple and stupid solution would be to turn off DNS name lookups completely > inside the build environment if USENETWORK=no (e.g. by fiddling with > /etc/nsswitch.conf), but I'm not sure if that's really applicable to pbuilder. Hm, don't know :) But this should go into #753944 anyway. (CC'd) Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
