Hi. Sorry for the late reply.

I built this package 196 times today, on a lot of different
machines.

It failed 121 times, so it fails for me more than 60% of the time.

I've put all the build logs here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/node-temp/


I suspect that there is either a race condition somewhere,
or the code depends on filesystem ordering.

Can you think about how this could happen by looking at the code
and a failed build log?

[ As a last resort, I could provide a machine for you to reproduce
  this (please contact me privately for details) ]

Thanks.
