As well as being a FTBFS, this is also an autopkgtest regression when upgrading curl, which is one of several factors preventing curl from migrating; that, in turn, blocks elfutils, which blocks GLib, which will likely be blocking a significant chunk of the 64-bit time_t transition. This could either be a regression in curl, or a pre-existing bug in ruby-curb that was exposed by a behaviour change in curl (for example maybe curl started applying stricter checks). I don't know curl well enough to say which, but perhaps the curl maintainers can help? This upstream commit introduced the new error message and seems relevant: https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/9369c30cd87c041cf983bcdfabd1570980abbaf6 Here is a convenient reproducer in an unprivileged container: $ podman run -v $(pwd):$(pwd):rw -w $(pwd) -it debian:trixie-slim # sed -i -e 's/Types: deb/& deb-src/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources # apt update # apt upgrade # apt install --no-install-recommends build-essential # apt source ruby-curb # cd ruby-curb-* # apt --no-install-recommends build-dep . # dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -B ... succeeds ... # sed -i -e 's/Suites: trixie /Suites: sid /' # apt --no-install-recommends install curl ...
