Yup, one of these transitive dependencies... > This is the timeline: > > 2016-08-21 successful build in stretch in low memory machine > 2016-08-23 xsltproc (from source package libxslt) version 1.1.29-1 reaches > testing > 2016-08-31 failed build in stretch in a low memory machine Ah, this looks suspicious indeed and falls directly into the gap. (By the way, are these build logs available somewhere? Sounds quite useful to have such a build history!) > Should I reassign this to xsltproc, asking for the error message to be > improved? Yes please. In any case, I can't see what I could do in the genometools package: it calls a2x, which is part of asciidoc, which in turn uses xsltproc. As it seems to be the culprit, maybe their maintainer can have a look at error reporting. In any case, I will try to confirm the connection with memory shortage in any case later.
