Severity: important

Dear maintainer:
During a rebuild of all packages in unstable using the nocheck build profile,
your package failed to build:

make: *** [debian/rules:7: binary] Error 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above is just how the build ends and not necessarily the most relevant part.
If required, the full build log is available here:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202504/
About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.
If you could not reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.
If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:publican, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.
Notes:
* When a package is built with the nocheck profile, it means:
- DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck
(the tests should be skipped during the build)
- DEB_BUILD_PROFILES=nocheck
(Build-Depends marked <!nocheck> are not installed)
- The contents of the package is allowed to be different than normal
* This category of bugs was going to be RC for trixie, but
according to the Release Managers it's a little bit late in the
release cycle to introduce a bunch of RC bugs of this type.
* In addition to the above, this package also fails when
using DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck alone. In this mode:
- DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck
(the tests should be skipped during the build)
- Build-Depends marked <!nocheck> are installed as normal
- The contents of the package should not change compared
to a regular build
Thanks.
