How often did you try to build the hello package? Did you also try larger packages? I remember that fakeroot was unreliable, and I see no relevant change in the source since then. The bug report says "Reproducibility: Intermittent". It's not new that building the hello package with fakeroot sometimes can work (IIRC). It's true that a better test case would be useful (even better a small testcase which triggers the bug more often). But until then the only info we have is that fakeroot breaks under heavy load. More debugging is required. Thanks, Marcus _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
