Sometimes the buildd daemons attempt a rebuild for the failed packages. In this case this might be the reason you are seeing different errors at different times. May be they fixed something in the toolchain of ia64 architecture. Anyway, the correct (and easiest way IMHO) is to go to http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/ then enter 'guile-1.8' in the box. This leads to http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/package.php?p=guile-1.8&suite=unstable This page gives a nice summary of which builds have succeded and which builds have failed. From the above page I see that the guile 1.8.5 failed to build on ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc. There have been 1 attempt for each of the architecture, except for ia64 where there have been 3 attempts to build the guile 1.8.5 package. We do not need to worry about hurd-i386 as it seems to be lagging behind all the times. However getting guile build on all other architectures would be nice. > am I misunderstanding the status? My only suggestion (from personal experience) for this kind of build problems is to use http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/ and not http://buildd.debian.org/ . The presentation of results from Jeroen's page is much easier to understand than from http://buildd.debian.org/ . hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally - A spam blocker that actually works. http://www.bluebottle.com/tag/4
