The build log URL in that bug report isn't valid, and the one I could find:

http://librarian.launchpad.net/7540965/buildlog_ubuntu-gutsy-i386.xmms2_0.2DrHouse-3.1ubuntu3_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

doesn't show that line. I'd like to see the full build log.

That environment value looks like a bug in a Perl program. It shouldn't
break sbuild, but it shouldn't be there either.
