Yes, some builds failed. I tried reproducing the build failures, but on armhf the compiler on the porterbox crashed (internal compiler error) and on i386 the build dependencies were not installable when I looked. On x32 the build dependencies are not installable (missing python-vtk6 rebuild against newer OpenMPI). > But libdune-grid-dev says that it breaks any version that's different.

If I don't find time to look at the errors or still get compiler errors, I'll probably ask for removal of the binary packages on the failing architectures.
