Aha; an easy solution!
sudo cowbuilder --create
I wonder why the error message didn't mention this if it's so simple?
Well, unfortunately it doesn't actually work, and yet again neither the
error message nor the documentation give any hint as to how to clear out
the bad state or fix the root cause. (sensing a trend here!)

Oddly this one does succeed:
sudo pbuilder create

I: cleaning the build env
I: removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build/1060423 and its subdirectories
However, that doesn't actually help when trying to use pbuilder with gbp
as gbp continues to look for the "base.cow" file instead of the base.tgz
file that pbuilder actually created. Ah well.
$ gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder
gbp:info: Building with (cowbuilder) for sid
gbp:info: Performing the build
Base directory /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow does not exist
gbp:error: 'git-pbuilder' failed: it exited with 1
I'd be happy to take any suggestions.
thanks,
Phil
