Your repeated "without much context to work with" are just fancy words 
for blaming me for not having debugged a FTBFS in your package.

I did tell you everything I knew (including providing the email address 
of the person causing the FTBFS in the initial bug report), and it is 
not my job to debug a FTBFS in your package.

You were even lucky that I was able to point you at what broke it,
there are more than 200 open RC bugs for FTBFS I reported [1] and
in many cases the error message is all I can provide.

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
