Bug#850989: caffe: FTBFS: libboost_python.so: undefined reference to `PyUnicodeUCS4_FromEncodedObject'

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Source: caffe
Version: 1.0.0~rc3+20161127-g24d2f67-4
Severity: serious
Tags: stretch sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20170111 qa-ftbfs
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
