Package: since
Version: 1.1-4
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream

Package version 1.1-4 added a build-time test-suite which revealed
that since on mips does not work properly:

$ echo foo > foo
$ since foo
foo
$ since foo
since: considering foo to be truncated, displaying from start
foo
$ 

Expected behaviour would be:

$ echo foo > foo
$ since foo
foo
$ since foo
$

I'll contact upstream about this and #591386 and if we don't find a
proper fix that soonish, I'll probably drop these two architectures
from the package.

Given the different symptoms, I suspect that this issue and #591386
(does not work on Hurd) are different issues.
