Thanks for your report.

I made it a warning (still says E:, that's a TODO) in r522 of
lp:ubuntu-dev-tools. Please check it works for you.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-dev-tools - 0.83

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.83) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * lpapicache: Do not immediately bail out if we have no credentials to
    login. Clients are now expected to handle the lack of credentials
    themselves.
  * pull-lp-source: Make LP API use optional - fall back to a hardcoded
    default release if we aren't using it. (LP: #477670)
  * pull-lp-source: Detect more failure conditions and give a nice error
    instead of a trace
  * buildd, requestsync, grab-attachments, hugdaylist, update-maintainer:
    Detect & bail if we don't have credentials and need them. These scripts
    cannot continue under those circumstances.

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * mk-sbuild-lv: switch to ext4 by default.

  [ Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals ]
  * pbuilder-dist, doc/pbuilder-dist.1:
     - Add "--debug-echo" option which prints the resulting pbuilder/cowbuilder
       commands instead of executing it.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * lp-project-upload: Generate tarball signature if it is not present yet.
  * lp-project-upload: Invoke editor to specify changelog and release notes,
    and add those to the project release.

Please backport this to Karmic, which has the same problem.

A workaround for users without updated ubuntu-dev-tools reading this bug report:

$ manage-credentials create -c ubuntu-dev-tools

This will launch your web browser, where you must login using your Launchpad user-id and password. Next you will be able to specify which access rights you want to grant to ubuntu-dev-tools.
Complete the process, and you will be then be able to use pull-lp-source normally.
