In files shipped in dynare, build paths, binary paths and data in arbitrary order are embedded in a shipped Makefile and data autom4te.cache/requests file: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bullseye/amd64/diffoscope-results/dynare.html /usr/src/matlab/dynare-matlab/mex/sources/Makefile contains build paths (e.g. /build/1st/dynare-4.6.2/ vs. /build/2/dynare-4.6.2/2nd/) and when built on a usrmerge system vs. a non-usermerge system, binary paths that vary (e.g. /bin/grep vs. /usr/bin/grep). /usr/src/matlab/dynare-matlab/mex/build/matlab/autom4te.cache/requests contains what appears to be the same information but in an undefined order varies between builds. I *think* these files would need to be regenerated in order to be used by the end-user, as the build paths or binary paths embedded in them may not match the system on which they would be used. If that is correct, the attached patch removes these files using a debian/rules dh_install override. live well, vagrant
