can you confirm whether running :
    GNUMAKEFLAGS='--shuffle --trace' sbuild

should be enough to reproduce the issue in sbuild ?

I do see it mentioned in the « User Environment » summary in the sbuild logs :
    User Environment
    ----------------
    
    APT_CONFIG=/var/lib/sbuild/apt.conf
    CCACHE_DIR=/build/ccache
    GNUMAKEFLAGS=--shuffle --trace


In which case I cannot reproduce it right now.

So either it’s fixed in the current version, or the failure is flaky ?
Have you seen it happen more recently during your rebuilds ?


Thanks,
