Well, it failed in testing when I reported it, on five different autobuilders and also here: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/testing/amd64/nose2.html But now I can no longer reproduce it. I guess some build-dependency was changed to fix this. If you are still interested to know why it failed and want to do "package archeology", you could maybe try with snapshot.debian.org. But I don't think package maintainers should be doing this (unless they want, of course), so closing the bug is probably the only sensible thing to do. Thanks.
