Package: sbuild
Version: 0.89.0
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

since version 0.89.0 (it seems) I get this error when I try to build a
package:

```
$ sbuild
Error reading configuration: BUILD_PATH must be an absolute path at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Conf.pm line 1016.
```

My sbuild config file:

```
$ cat ~/.config/sbuild/config.pl
# build 'Architecture: all' packages
$build_arch_all = 1;
# build the source package
$build_source = 1;
# run lintian, show informational tags
$run_lintian = 1;
$lintian_opts = ['-I'];
# Cf. NEWS file for 0.87.1
$build_path = "";
$log_filter = 1;
# Cf. ???
$chroot_mode = "schroot";
$schroot = "schroot";
```

It seems that sbuild doesn't like the pair of options that are
recommended in the NEWS file

```
$build_path = "";
$log_filter = 1;
```

If I comment it out, sbuild works again.

Thanks,

Arnaud
