Hello. Gprbuild and other packages have been affected by similar issues. https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=gprbuild&ver=2015-5 As you can see in the two ppc64el logs, a new attempt with XMLAda/4.5.2015-7 instead of -6 automagically fixes the problem. I am reluctant to ask for manual intervention of the wanna-build team, as the issue may disappear by itself, and I am not sure that it would be sufficient. I am unable to test because there is no sparc64 porterbox and the apt cache is out of date on the ppc64 porterbox. I do not fully understand the problem, but here is my guess. As ALI files refer to each other recursively, a problem in XMLAda may explain a message about libasis-dev when building adacontrol. In XMLAda, sources modified after last debian/changelog entry, by debian/patches for example, are forced to the changelog date in order to ensure that ALI files contain deterministic timestamps. Unfortunately, when preparing 4.5.2015-6, I have reconstructed the upstream tarball from a VCS, making all sources more recent than debian/changelog. XMLAda/4.5.2015-7 happens to fix the problem simply because its debian/changelog is more recent.
