--- Begin Message ---Package: r-base-dev Version: 3.3.1-1 Severity: normal When determening whether to run tests directly or under xvfb-run, r-cran.mk should check for the presence of both xvfb-run and xauth. As it is, the hppa build of r-cran-rngtools somehow wound up running in an environment with xvfb but not xauth (which xvfb merely recommends) and failing: if test -f /usr/bin/xvfb-run; then \ xvfb-run -a \ R CMD INSTALL -l /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/r-cran-rngtools/usr/lib/R/site-library --clean \ . \ "--built-timestamp=\"Sun, 03 Jul 2016 22:30:22 +0200\"" \ ; \ else \ R CMD INSTALL -l /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/r-cran-rngtools/usr/lib/R/site-library \ --clean . \ "--built-timestamp=\"Sun, 03 Jul 2016 22:30:22 +0200\"" \ ; \ fi xvfb-run: error: xauth command not found /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk:98: recipe for target 'R_any_arch' failed make: *** [R_any_arch] Error 3 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch gave error exit status 2 https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=r-cran-rngtools&arch=hppa&ver=1.2.4-1&stamp=1467911686 -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages r-base-dev depends on: ii build-essential 11.7 ii cdbs 0.4.142 ii g++ 4:5.3.1-3 ii gcc 4:5.3.1-3 ii gfortran 4:5.3.1-3 ii libatlas-base-dev 3.10.2-9+b1 ii libblas-dev 3.6.1-1 ii libbz2-dev 1.0.6-8 ii libicu-dev 55.1-7 ii libjpeg62-turbo-dev [libjpeg-dev] 1:1.5.0-1 ii liblapack-dev 3.6.1-1 ii liblzma-dev 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 ii libncurses5-dev 6.0+20160319-2+b1 ii libpcre3-dev 2:8.38-3.1 ii libpng-dev 1.6.23-1 ii libreadline-dev 6.3-8+b4 ii r-base-core 3.3.1-1 ii zlib1g-dev 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 r-base-dev recommends no packages.

I am now closing the bug. I think it is overreach to try to anticipate every possible misconfiguration in the builder.
