Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: serious Justification: Kafka is alive Kind ftpmasters:
When a source-only upload fails to build from source in the "Arch: all" autobuilder [1], the system seems to think that the source does no longer provide such Arch: all packages. As a result, it seems, new uploads of the same package go to NEW and require manual intervention, even if the upload is precisely to fix the bug which made the Arch: all autobuilder to FTBFS [2]. This is a catch-22. Fixing a FTBFS bug should ideally not require manual intervention. [1] For example, source-only upload of ekg2_1:0.4~pre+20120506.1-10 which was ACCEPTED. [2] For example, source-only upload of ekg2_1:0.4~pre+20120506.1-11 which was the one that followed -10 and it was REJECTED. Thanks.
