Package: samba Version: 2:4.1.21+dfsg-2 Severity: serious Justification: fails to build from source (sometimes)
Hello! The samba package fails to build from source when it can't download the external stylesheet docbook.xsl which is downloaded from sourceforge.net: Checking for stylesheet http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl : not found and consequently won't build the manpages which then results in: #Remove unused vfstest manpage as there is no more vfstest apparently rm /<<BUILDDIR>>/samba-4.1.21+dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man1/vfstest.1 rm: cannot remove '/<<BUILDDIR>>/samba-4.1.21+dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man1/vfstest.1': No such file or directory debian/rules:93: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed make[1]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/samba-4.1.21+dfsg' debian/rules:69: recipe for target 'binary' failed make: *** [binary] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 I'm not sure why exactly the download of the stylesheet fails. It fails on the sparc64 and x32 buildds and on my personal sbuild amd64 chroot, all of them are up-to-date. Since I can download the stylesheet from the very same machine I am using for amd64 builds: glaubitz@z6:~> wget http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl --2015-12-07 14:51:42-- http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl Resolving docbook.sourceforge.net (docbook.sourceforge.net)... 216.34.181.96 Connecting to docbook.sourceforge.net (docbook.sourceforge.net)|216.34.181.96|:80... connected.

However, I think it's generally bad when a package in Debian can no longer be build from source just because a file on a third party server is missing or corrupted. That being said, I think it's also a potential security problem when the buildds blindly download files from third party servers. Cheers, Adrian -- .''`.
