Package: hol88-library
Version: 2.02.19940316-32
Severity: grave
Justification: unintentionally empty package on a release architecture
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Something weired seems to have happend to hol88-library. On some
architectures (arm64, hppa, m68k), the package is simply empty. Upon
closer inspection it turns out that the upstream build system simply
hides build failures.
https://sources.debian.net/src/hol88/2.02.19940316-32/Makefile/#L291
| (date; $(MAKE) hol; date; $(MAKE) library; date)
Thus technically, hol88 fails to build from source, it violates policy
by not detecting such failure and it is dysfunctional by shipping empty
packages.

Greetings! This was due to a transient failure in the build
architecture on the affected platforms. Package builds fine now in a
fresh up to date chroot. BinNMU uploaded.
As an oblique aside, it does appear on cursory examination that
'fakeroot' has issues on arm64.
