debootstrap issue

[Rajesh pant]

hello list and thnks thomas for your suggestion
i appreciate.

well i have tried using debootstrap instead of pbuilder.

using the command line.

debootstrap --verbose --arch i386 sid /var/  http://packages.bosslinux.in/boss/

but it also hungs up and gives the message as "retriveing release......"

we use proxy in our network environment
and i exported proxy before giving the command.
but with no benefit.
what could be the reason and what should i do

thank you.
