I have been able to find out the previous corruption, it was on kdenlive
16.08.0-1 [1].


Note that the issue is visible in the build log when the content of each
package is displayed. The issue happened on a different build daemon
(mipsel-manda-02 vs mipsel-aql-01). They are similar hardware (Loongson 3
RS780E boards), but two events is not statistically enough to conclude.

I have just scheduled a binNMU to fix the issue for now. I also have
added the entry to our internal tracker so that we can investigage.
