Not at all unless having two CPUs becomes part of build-essential
definition, something, which, AFAIK, has not happened yet.

It's not that I don't want to debug it myself, it's just that I simply
can't debug every bug I report, not to mention I would probably not
have the required skills to debug this one.

But not wanting to debug a bug should not be an excuse to accept
the bug being just downgraded and forgotten.

Please do so (but only the test which fails) because otherwise it will
be me who will be forced to appeal to the technical committee.

As a last test, I've built this package 100 times today on a lot of
*different* autobuilders (all of them having a single CPU).

I've put the results here for you to see:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/rygel/

Summary: It failed 95 times out of 100 times.

This is a failure rate of 95% on single CPU machines. Unless having
two CPUs has suddenly become part of the build-essential definition,
I don't see how can you dispute that this is serious and RC.

The fact that you downgraded this to *wishlist* (not important, not
normal, not even minor, but wishlist) is really what is over the top
here.

Sure, see how much time we have saved discussing about this. A test
only saves time when you do something when it fails. If you do nothing
when it fails, it serves no purpose and does not improve the quality
in any way.

Thanks.
