It was not intended this way.

The difference between "condescending" and "useful information" is what 
level of knowledge you already have.

Unless one knows the skills of the other person well,
one always ends up explaining either too few or too much.

And yes, I have gotten "but it did work when I tried" replies
from DDs when discussing these kind of issues.

Thanks for the info.

I didn't think of a parallel error, and was too biased on blaming armhf
(including when searching other occurrences of this error).

This statement sounds condescending and somewhat ruins what was a nice
e-mail so far :/

This is a typical parallel building bug, something is reading dxmainc.o 
while something else hasn't yet finished writing it. There is a 
dependency between these two missing somewhere in some Makefile.

In buster this is workarounded with
https://sources.debian.org/src/ghostscript/9.52.1%7Edfsg-1/debian/rules/#L33-L36

Scheduled (with ghostscript_ added before the version).

gb: ghostscript_9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u7

2020-08-21 Thread Sylvain Beucler
Hello,

ghostscript failed to build on armhf for stretch-security:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ghostscript=armhf=9.26a%7Edfsg-0%2Bdeb9u7=1597941103=0
"./soobj/dxmainc.o: file not recognized: File truncated"

I cannot find an explanation for this error, and the package builds
fine on porterbox abel.debian.org (see
~beuc/ghostscript_9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u7_armhf.build), so I suppose a
transient buildd failure occurred.

giveback.cgi rejects requests due to targetting a security suite.

Please rebuild ghostscript for stretch-security.

  gb 9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u7 . armhf . stretch-security

Thanks.

Cheers!
Sylvain
