$ sudo pbuilder-dist natty update
W: /root/.pbuilderrc does not exist
E: File /root/pbuilder/natty-base.tgz does not exist

Other options like build also don't work with the same output.

I'm guessing this is due to using sudo. We should detect sudo (via the environment variables it prints), and output an appropriate error.

    - Fix typo in local archive support, introduced in 0.107.
    - Warn user if they run sudo pbuilder-dist (LP: #691999).

    (LP: #681114).
  * sponsor-patch: Allow updating the build environment if the build failed.
  * ubuntu-iso: Exit nonzero rather than crash if a wrong parameter is passed
    (LP: #637020).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * grep-merges: New tool.
  * ubuntu-iso(1): Fix typo.

  [ Evan Broder ]
