Package: src:liblocale-maketext-gettext-perl Version: 1.28-2 Severity: important
Dear maintainer: I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" but it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules build-indep dh build-indep dh: Compatibility levels before 9 are deprecated (level 8 in use) dh_testdir -i dh_update_autotools_config -i dh_auto_configure -i dh_auto_configure: Compatibility levels before 9 are deprecated (level 8 in use) perl -I.

I've put several build logs here: https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/liblocale-maketext-gettext-perl/ If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in the page for this package. The bug should be reproducible with sbuild on a single CPU virtual machine, provided you try enough times (as the failure happens randomly). Note: The failure rate is quite low (around 3.5%), I would recommend taking a look at the build logs and the code and try to guess how it may happen. Thanks.
