Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch and it failed:

I admit this is strange because it seems to build ok in the
reproducible builds autobuilders.

However, I've decided to report it anyway because I've tried to build
it 55 times and it failed 55 times, on 23 different autobuilders:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/python-proliantutils/

I can even reproduce it with plain dpkg-buildpackage (i.e. without sbuild)
on a brand new machine from Digital Ocean, so if you could not reproduce
this, please contact me privately. As a last resort, I could give you
access to one of such machines.

Thanks.
