08:46 < bunk> on x86 and arm64, *except* x86-grnet-01
08:46 < bunk> 1. Why not on grnet?
08:46 < bunk> 2. Is dh compat 13 worth a recommendation to the maintainer?
09:17 < aurel32> i guess it's because the buildds at grnet are using pybuildd, which is not affected by the libpam-systemd/schroot bug
09:19 < aurel32> and yes debhelper compat 13 might help there, at least present a stable environment


The dh compat 13 change is

  The dh_auto_* helpers now reset the environment variables
  HOME and common XDG_* variable.  Please see description of
  the environment variables in "ENVIRONMENT" for how this is
  handled.
