Thanks for going through all the trouble to figure out what's wrong. It is indeed a missing dependency-tracking file ('lib/.collect-stamp') in the distfile. I must have missed it when creating the tarballs. > This would work if there was a lib/.collect-stamp with a correct > timestamp included with the server package, but there isn't.

The current archetype collection process is hackish and fails when running with multiple build jobs. I was thinking that the collection process should be moved out of the server build process altogether. > I ran into this while packaging 1.71.0 for Debian.

Do you think I should roll a new tarball with '.collect-stamp' included?
