Package: subversion Version: 1.7.5-1 Severity: normal I'll start by admitting that I've only actually reproduced this in backport PPA builds for Ubuntu hardy, *but* on analysis I can't see why this shouldn't happen in Debian sid too, so I'll report it nonetheless...
If the package is built with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=n, the invocations of dh_prep in the -arch and -indep parts of the build will race with each other, specifically where deleting debian/tmp is concerned. In many cases, it's likely that there is lucky success as both executions of dh_prep complete approximately simultaneously. However, I've seen some cases where the the -indep part fails, apparently because the -indep part started creating some structure in debian/tmp which the -arch dh_prep call then erased. I think that debian/rules should not place -j N in MAKEFLAGS (which causes the execution of debian/rules itself to parallelize) but should just supply a suitable -j N option to sub-makes called on the package's upstream makefiles. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
