The last time the package failed, it was because the build-dependency tetex-bin failed to install. But the error messages with which it failed were very strange, and I suspected buggy hardware. I have asked ryan murray and the hppa list about this, but never received an answer. I don't know whether the problem magically solved itself (which would again point to a hardware problem) or whether some admin acted. It would be interesting to find out why the buildd tried again to build the package after the last one failed - maybe this gives some insight who did what why when.
