Package: src:gnuchess-book Version: 1.02-1 Severity: serious Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it) but it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules build-indep dh build-indep dh_testdir -i dh_update_autotools_config -i dh_auto_configure -i debian/rules override_dh_auto_build make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' dh_testdir book_1.02.pgn # Spam only if stdout is a tty Building book. make[1]: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. Build killed with signal TERM after 60 minutes of inactivity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because this source package only generates "Arch: all" packages, this is the same as a FTBFS bug in the usual sense and the fact that I was using "dpkg-buildpackage -A" is quite irrelevant. For this particular package, I've also checked that it fails to build from source in the reproducible builds site: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/ You will notice that my autobuilder waited "only" for 60 minutes before giving up. Well, the autobuilder from reproducible builds waited for 18 hours. The end result was the same: The build had to be killed. Thanks.
