I infer that you actually tried to reproduce it,
and I thank you for that.

Unfortunately, this is one of the worst bug closing messages
I've read lately, by a great margin. Trying to make fun of
the end user's build environment at the same time the problem
is disguised as "luck" is the last thing I would expect from a DD.

For the record: When I get to the point of reporting a FTBFS problem,
I've already tried to build the package several times in different
machines, never a single time.

You can see a lot of build logs here, as the package has been
failing for me since 2024-09-15:

This is why I always include this paragraph that you apparently
missed completely:

I'll handle this bug myself, as I'm also a team member.

In this case the test fails or not depending on the hardware, I've
included the details in the github issue above if you are interested.

Thanks.
