Package: kernel-package
Version: 13.018
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm trying to build a custom kernel with make-kpkg. This is Ubuntu 14.04, but I
manually
installed kernel-package from Ubuntu 16.04, namely version 13.018, since I need
support
for localversion files.
I'm running something like:
make-kpkg --initrd buildpackage --uc --us --revision 1-foo
and very frequently the build fails toward the end (after about 45 minutes). I
think the relevant part of the
output is the following:
[...]
/usr/bin/make -f debian/rules debian/stamp/dep-binary-arch
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/den2pal/work/zeno/zenocam/linux-kernel/linux'

I might be interpreting this wrong, but it looks like both the linux-headers
and the linux-image targets
are typing to create the folder debian/stamp/binary. From the code of
kernel-package, it looks like they
are both calling
@test -d debian/stamp/binary || mkdir debian/stamp/binary
which looks like it could lead to a race condition if executed in parallel. A
solution might be something
like `mkdir -p` or `mkdir debian/stamp/binary || true`.
I wounder if / why noone has this issue, since it does happen very consistently
for me. I will try to call
make-kpkg with `-j1` to see if that makes a difference.
Kind regards,
Nikolaus
