You catched me - after recreating my chroot I also get a FTBFS - however
different from yours.  While the step you reported looks pretty normal:

...
make[1]: Entering directory '/build/libchado-perl-1.31'
perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/usr  DBNAME=gmod-chado DBUSER=chado DBPASS=chado DBHOST=localhost DBPORT=5432 GMOD_ROOT=/build/libchado-perl-1.31/debian/libchado-perl/usr/share/gmod/chado DBDRIVER=PostgreSQL RECONFIGURE=1 SIMPLE=Y LOCAL_TMP=/build/libchado-perl-1.31/debian/libchado-perl/tmp

Building with the following database options:
  GMOD_ROOT=/build/libchado-perl-1.31/debian/libchado-perl/usr/share/gmod/chado
  DBDRIVER=PostgreSQL
  DBNAME=gmod-chado
  DBUSER=chado

  DBPORT=5432
  SCHEMA=

I'm running later into

which is pretty strange since

# ls -l /build/libchado-perl-1.31/debian/libchado-perl/usr/share/gmod/chado/conf
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 pbuilder pbuilder 221 Feb  6 11:06 gmod-chado.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 pbuilder pbuilder 167 Feb  6 11:06 gmod.conf

The variable names have not changed in any recent upload and as you can
see DBUSER etc are used.

Does anybody else have some idea?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
