The build timestamp is embedded in various /usr/bin/* files is timezone dependent: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bookworm/amd64/diffoscope-results/lcov.html lcov_1.16-1_all.deb -rwxr-xr-x···0·root·········(0)·root·········(0)·····4568·2022-06-06·08:19:45.000000·./usr/bin/gendesc vs. -rwxr-xr-x···0·root·········(0)·root·········(0)·····4568·2022-06-05·18:19:45.000000·./usr/bin/gendesc The attached patch fixes this by removing a call to touch from the updateversion.pl script. According to my local tests, with this patch applied lcov should build reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org! Thanks for maintaining lcov! live well, vagrant
