it is much bigger, it affects roughly 5% of the archive: in unstable: $ apt-file search -x 'buildinfo_(amd64|all).gz | wc -l 3742 $ build-rdeps dh-buildinfo | tail -2 | head -1 Found a total of 1459 reverse build-depend(s) for dh-buildinfo. and contrary to my assumptions a few days ago, these not only cause unreproducibility when cross-building, but also when doing native rebuilds. (because dh-buildinfo documents all installed packages, while dpkg's .buildinfo implementation only records installed build-depends of the package being build, thus missing packages like apt, login or fakeroot...) -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ We are not moving into a 1.5C world, we are briefly passing through it in 2024.
