Package: src:xmds2 Version: 2.2.2+dfsg-2 Severity: serious Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it) but it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules build-indep dh build-indep --with python2 dh_testdir -i dh_update_autotools_config -i dh_auto_configure -i dh_auto_build -i make -j1 make[1]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/xmds2-2.2.2+dfsg' make[2]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/xmds2-2.2.2+dfsg/xpdeint' Setting top to : /<<BUILDDIR>>/xmds2-2.2.2+dfsg/xpdeint Setting out to : /<<BUILDDIR>>/xmds2-2.2.2+dfsg/xpdeint Setting top == out (remember to use "update_outputs") Checking for the Cheetah python module : ok [... snipped ...] Copyright 2000-2014 Graham Dennis, Joseph Hope, Mattias Johnsson and the xmds team Generating source code... ... done Compiling simulation... ... done.

Please tell me if you need a full build log, and I will attach it. (Using sbuild on a single CPU virtual machine, it always fails for me, on different machines, so it should be easy to reproduce). Thanks.
