No, the cause is well understood, but it's a particularly tricky
problem to solve and nobody is currently working on it.
Given that the issue has been around for some years without
anybody showing up with a strong will to fix it, I would
not hold your breath. It will probably happen one day,

Sorry I don't have any better news there.

I see, thank you. Do you think there will be some improvement on this in 
the near future? Otherwise, if I provide you the VM I'm using to do 
this, in order to reproduce the issue, will it help you to diagnose the

Not everything will run under QEMU, our emulation has weak
spots. The most common one is where the program you're
running uses multiple threads -- this isn't supported under
QEMU and will usually result in crashes of some kind.

Segmentation fault

followed by other error messages saying that the child process (the build
one) failed.

This doesn't inherently come from QEMU -- if the guest process
we're running segfaults we'll report it like this.

I see... so, the "qemu:" prefix doesn't mean the error comes from 
QEMU... It's just strange that a standard Debian package does not build.


Thank you for your help!
