Sorry for missing this mail, looks like Florian, you and me are discussing this via mail + IRC + changelog entries in git :) Let's try to bring this together; from d/changelog: /me: is the override_dh_auto_clean necessary? building twice works for me without it ghedo: IIRC this was reproducible by running straight dpkg-buildpackage (or debuild) twice, without manually cleaning between the two calls, but not with pbuilder --twice (I tried this a couple of days ago). Florian explained something similar on IRC. I might be wrong but I think the question of building twice boils down to the question: is the source tree the same as before after running the build and the clean? And this seems to be the case here. (Of course without a "clean" Makefile.PL is patched and Makefile is still there and is older than Makefile.PL and everything goes south.) Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
