Hello maintainers of dictionaries-common,I've made haste and I've written a hook script for the live images [1] which applies this proposed change on the files while the live images are being generated.
It turns out that due to a combination of circumstances, the non-reproducibility triggers a known bug in diffoscope (the tool to detect differences between two live images) which consumes a lot of resources (memory and disc space) on a shared host, which subsequently causes intermittent failures in openQA-workers who are running on the same host.
With the quick-fix in live-build, I hope to restore the stability of the build and test-system again. However, I hope you can apply the proposed change, so other will benefit as well.
With kind regards, Roland Clobus [1] https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/395
