Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package in buster but it failed:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
debian/rules build-arch
dh build-arch
dh_update_autotools_config -a
debian/rules override_dh_autoreconf

Running bootstrap in subdirectory sc
--- This is the bootstrap script for libsc ---
It is NOT required to run bootstrap to build from a tar.gz archive
Development requires a libtool recent enough to contain LT_INIT (2.2 works)

There are not enough slots available in the system to satisfy the 2 slots

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To reproduce, please try building with sbuild on a single-CPU machine, as I did.
The error message (not enough slots available) suggests that this package is
not ready to be built on single-CPU machines.
If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use reassign and
affects,
so that this is still visible in the BTS web page for this package.
My guess is that this is a bug in p4est but it's triggered by a build depends
which changed behaviour somewhere between 2017-12-24 (where version 1.1-5
still built ok for me in buster) and 2018-06-03 (where it did not anymore).
Thanks.

A long time ago, I said:
> Could we please fix this in buster as well?
> (for some future point release)
Well, neither buster or bullseye are supported anymore, so I agree
that there is no point in keeping this bug open anymore.
Thanks.
