Dear Maintainer, The package currently fails to build reproducibly in a merged-usr vs non-merged environment. The path of ps is embedded in a shipped file and is found via /usr/bin (rather than /bin) on a merged-usr system (where /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin), since default PATH has /usr/bin before /bin. This is unfortunate for non-merged systems as there /usr/bin/ps does not exist. There are other tools which has the same problem, but they are not affected by merged-usr as they normally live in /usr/bin. However these paths might also end up incorrect, since the local dirty build environment could have the tool installed in /usr/local/bin or may have modified $PATH in some way that gives undesired results. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
