[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#846229: salt-formula-heat: FTBFS (KeyError: 'VERSION_ID')

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:salt-formula-heat
Version: 2016.4.1-3
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

A similar failure may be found here:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/salt-formula-heat.html

This is probably triggered by some build-dependency which changed behaviour.
In case it helps, I'm building on stretch and this is my build history:

[ every build before is successful ]
Status: successful  salt-formula-heat_2016.4.1-3_amd64-20161123T092142Z
Status: failed      salt-formula-heat_2016.4.1-3_amd64-20161129T021816Z
[ every build after fails ]

Thanks.
