We also had changes in the toolchain since the upload of 12.3.2-1. If this aspect did not change in qpdf, this could also be change in the toolchain. So before suggesting any actions, I would like to understand where it is coming from. A rebuild of 12.3.2 may suffer the same issue. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
