Source: scotch
Version: 6.0.4.dfsg1-2
Followup-For: Bug #865671
Specifically, debian/rules contains several shell loops that run
without either set -e or explicit error handling. As such, Hurd
builds running afoul of #881200 attempt to build all four variants of
the library, encounter compilation and upstream installation errors
for each of them, and don't actually fail until debian/rules tries to
rename gmap.1 to scotch_gmap.1 (presumably to avoid a file conflict).
