Package: libvirt Version: 2.3.0-3 Severity: serious I have discovered that libvirt sometimes doesn't build, depending on the file timestamps. Specifically: the api docs don't build; but, whether they are rebuilt depends on timestamps and a simple "apt-get source" generates timestamps which do not cause a docs build.
The built docs in the source package (which I think are probably also shipped in the binaries) are evidently not actually buildable from the provided inputs. And it is just luck that the source package builds for most people. Steps to reproduce: In a sid chroot with the build-deps installed: $ mkdir repro $ cd repro $ apt-get source libvirt Reading package lists...
