from time to time I'm taking a look at various piuparts but here I can't really see why the installation of thunderbird is failing. The only lines I've feel questionable are > 0m13.7s DEBUG: Starting command: ['chroot', > '/srv/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmp1t1c3O', > 'tmp/scripts/post_setup_force-unsafe-io'] > 0m13.8s DUMP: > dpkg: error: error writing to '<standard output>': Broken pipe > Enabling dpkg --force-unsafe-io. > Adding 'local diversion of /bin/sync to /bin/sync.distrib' > '/bin/sync' -> 'true' But there is a switch '--force-unsafe-io' so I think the output here is o.k. so far. But I can't see something similar within other piuparts logs.

The issues the buildd's seem to have must be something different to the maybe existing installation problem of TB 52.9.0-1. Over the day I've seen that some buildd's have tried to build thunderbird for more than 25 times, but the same was happen to other packages in queue too like wxpython4.0. Right now most of the RC platforms have built successfully within the last 6h so I guess it's more based on the current environment of the buildd's. But I've no deeper knowledge about our buildd's and their setup and I'm happy if I'm prove wrong. So to summarize, I've no clue what's going (wrong) here. Regards Carsten
