Probably you are the uploader of the following file(s) in the Debian upload queue directory: kfreebsd-9_9.0~svn225586-1.debian.tar.gz kfreebsd-9_9.0~svn225586-1.dsc kfreebsd-9_9.0~svn225586.orig.tar.gz This looks like an upload, but a .changes file is missing, so the job cannot be processed.

Ah, now that makes sense. Kinda. It still doesn't explain why the result is random. :-) "true" sometimes exits too fast, "sleep 0.1" suffices. Due to userspace implementation (via pthread_cond_timedwait), /bin/true might end even before the signal is delivered. BTW, I just verified, only kfreeb
