Build logs indicate that regular files are sometimes treated as directories by install(1), resulting in the build being incomplete and unreproducible even in cases where it doesn't FTBFS: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/i386/glib2.0.html --- b1/build.log 2017-12-21 23:47:26.259266661 +0000 +++ b2/build.log 2017-12-22 00:01:34.693734003 +0000 @@ -14556,6 +14571,7 @@ /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/api-index-full.html /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/ch01s02.html /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/chapter-gobject.html +/usr/bin/install: omitting directory './html/chapter-gobject.html' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/chapter-gtype.html /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/chapter-intro.html /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/chapter-signal.html @@ -14599,7 +14615,6 @@ /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/left.png /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/pr01.html /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/pt01.html -/usr/bin/install: omitting directory './html/pt01.html' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/pt02.html /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/pt03.html /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/right-insensitive.png (In a correct build, all of those files are regular files produced by gtk-doc, and none are directories or symlinks.) I am not aware of any reason why gtk-doc would produce ./html/chapter-gobject.html or ./html/pt01.html that are sometimes a regular file and sometimes a directory, and I've never seen this happen on the production buildds, so I suspect this might be some issue with the filesystem or LD_PRELOADs used on the reproducible builders non-deterministically producing incorrect stat() results that make install(1) and tar(1) do the wrong thing. What filesystem is used for the build, and which LD_PRELOAD hacks are applied? The next upload of glib2.0 is going to have Rules-Requires-Root: no, which will mitigate this if it's a problem with the implementation of fakeroot used on these builders (but I'm not going to upload that until after Christmas unless glib2.0 develops a new RC bug, because we need to let the current version migrate so it won't block the rest of GNOME).
