Hi,

So I had a look at this bug due to the failings on mips.

I found this which is similar to the immediate problem (with files
instead of directories):
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/116280/cannot-create-regular-file-filename-file-exists

The problem is in lives-plugins/plugins/effects/compound/Makefile.am.
The icons directory is copied once by being mentioned in EXTRA_DIST, and
once by the install-data-local rule. There is no dependency between
these rules so they might happen at exactly the same time.

But the data and icons directories are completely empty anyway! I
couldn't reproduce this, but I think the patch I've attached would fix
it by removing the offending code and simply not distributing those
directories. For debian, it has no visible effect - I don't know if
upstream uses the directories for anything.

And now the upload from February has failed again for this reason on
arm64, mips and powerpc.
