Thanks for the info, sounds like a bug that is hard to identify and fix. > Will give the package back. It usually works the next time. Unfortunately it failed again (on atlantis): | dpkg-deb: building package 'gnustep-base-runtime-dbgsym' in '../gnustep-base-runtime-dbgsym_1.25.1-2_powerpcspe.deb'. | dpkg-deb: error: <compress> from tar -cf subprocess was killed by signal (Killed) | dh_builddeb: dpkg-deb --build debian/.debhelper/libgnustep-base1.25/dbgsym-root .. returned exit code 2 | dpkg-deb: building package 'libgnustep-base1.25' in '../libgnustep-base1.25_1.25.1-2_powerpcspe.deb'. | dh_builddeb: Aborting due to earlier error I'm quite surprised that gnustep-base is hit by this OOM issue, it's a dwarf package compared to many other beasts like libreoffice, webkit, gcc, etc. Could it be a powerpcspe-specific problem introduced in recent binutils?
