The bug is probably still there, just that you didn't really bother to reproduce it. I clearly said this in my bug report: "The failure rate is around 5%, so if you try to reproduce this, please try a *lot* of times." This means, if you are bad at math, that the error will happen once every 20 tries. If you only built it 5 times, you did not really tried to reproduce it. And then you didn't bother to Cc:me on this message, which I had to read from [email protected]. For this reason, I consider this downgrade of yours unacceptable and a bad joke. I'm going to repeat my tests in unstable, just for the case that some already-fixed build-dependency was to blame for this, but if I still reproduce this I will restore the original severity, as packages *must* build from source *without* failure, this is not an invention of mine, it's Release Policy. Thanks.
