Yes, it got fixed somehow although I'm still curious to know what was
the problem.

There are some other issues on GNU/Hurd with the GNUstep transition:

dbuskit, fontmanager.app and renaissance FTBFS (all on ironforge) due
to a known issue (/proc missing):

| pl2link GSMarkupBrowser.app/Resources/Info-gnustep.plist ./GSMarkupBrowser.app/Resources/GSMarkupBrowser.desktop; \
|                 chmod a+x ./GSMarkupBrowser.app/Resources/GSMarkupBrowser.desktop
| Couldn't open file /proc/8331/cmdline when starting gnustep-base; No such file or directory
| Your gnustep-base library is compiled for a kernel supporting the /proc filesystem, but it can't access it.
| You should recompile or change your kernel.
| We try to go on anyway; but the program will ignore any argument which were passed to it.

It would be nice if these can be given back.  Perhaps the postinst
failure was also due to this?  Hard to believe as it failed so many
times on both buildds.

Also, avifile needs to be binNMUed against ffmpeg as cynthiune.app is
in state BD-Uninstallable.
