Hi, while investigating a test failure in ksh93u+m, it became clear that packages last built before the time_t-64bit transition can have latent bugs. They might very well now FTBFS or fail at runtime (autopkgtest time or later).
I believe FTBFS are bugs are probably caught by periodic rebuilds done by Lucas, Santiago et al. However I am not aware of any autopkgtests ran against these rebuilds. In the case of ksh93u+m, the tests pass in version 1.0.8-1 (built before t64 transition), but fail once that unchanged source is rebuilt. I would suggest to rebuild _all_ binary packages last built before the t64 transition to catch such problems, before releasing trixie. I will not pursue this any further but hope the ARM porters can pick up this topic. Chris
