This error in reproducible looks pretty different (it is also not a hang) from what you reported. ValueError: Unable to determine the name of the local timezone -- you must explicitly specify the name of the local timezone. Please refrain from using timezones like EST to prevent problems with daylight saving time. Instead, use a locale based timezone name (such as Europe/Helsinki). https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_variations.html env TZ TZ="/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+12" So this can be reproduced with TZ="/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+12" dpkg-buildpackage -b This can likely be workarounded with "export TZ=UTC" in debian/rules. In any case it would be good if the package would be uploaded source-only, since this would have made it easy to see whether it also fails on the buildds. > Thanks. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
