Bug#848063: ri-li: FTBFS randomly (Impossible d'initialiser SDL:Couldn't open X11 display)

[Santiago Vila]

Dear Debian Games Team:

I reported this based on my own autobuilders, which are different and
independent from the reproducible builds autobuilders.

It seems Markus somehow believed those to be the same, but they are not.

In either case, please take a look at the build history in
reproducible builds:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/history/ri-li.html

It may be easily seen that things started to go wrong at some time
between 2016-12-06 and 2016-12-11 (not necessarily because of the
package itself, it could be because some of its build-depends).

Please also note that I'm using sbuild and reproducible builds
autobuilders use pbuilder, and also I can reproduce this on
several different machines, not just one.

Based on those simple facts, the likelihood of this being simultaneosly
a problem in both my own autobuilders and the reproducible builds
autobuilders is very low, and the likelihood of this being a real
problem in the package is very high, and this is why I still believe
that the serious severity is more than justified for this bug.

I'm not changing the severity, but please keep trying to reproduce
this. I've described my building environment here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/my-building-environment.txt

but as a last resort I could offer access to a machine where this
happens (please contact me privately for details).

Thanks.
