I haven't been able to find the issue yet (i agree that the pkill
business is a missing build-dep to handle the corner case where the
tests fail, but i don't think it's the cause of the failure itself).
And the build still works fine for me in my own up-to-date sid
cowbuilder amd64 instance.
I suspect there are some resource limits on the buildd's that i don't
have replicated, but i'm not sure how to track down what the problem is
specifically.
Wouter, you seem to be offering assistance in getting access to a build
directory (meaning to a live buildd itself? or something else?) -- can
i take you up on that? I'm not sure what my next steps should be otherwise.
