This is a well known issue with the ARM Ltd hosted builders and not armel
specific.

I haven't been able to find a way to reproduce this outside the ARM Ltd
hosted buildds.

The solution is simply to reschedule the build and hope it ends up
on a buildd not hosted at ARM Ltd.

The problem is basically that first this[1] condition passes, then
subsequent[2][3][4] (identical) calls fails (at ARM Ltd):

[1]: http://sources.debian.net/src/util-linux/2.29.2-4/tests/ts/utmp/last/#L41
[2]: http://sources.debian.net/src/util-linux/2.29.2-4/tests/ts/utmp/last/#L45
[3]: http://sources.debian.net/src/util-linux/2.29.2-4/tests/ts/utmp/last/#L48
[4]: http://sources.debian.net/src/util-linux/2.29.2-4/tests/ts/utmp/last/#L51

This has previously been discussed on IRC and the people responsible
for buildd hosting at ARM Ltd has been unable to identify what's
causing it.

AFAIK there's a possibility to blacklist buildds somehow. Please reassign
this bug report to where/who-ever can help out with blacklisting ARM Ltd
buildds for util-linux builds.
