[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#993014: cifs-utils non-parallel FTBFS

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: cifs-utils
Version: 2:6.11-3.1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs


cifs-utils fails to build from source when including parallel=1 in
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. A failing build ends with:

I suppose that some ordering relation in the makefile is missing and a
parallel build creates the relevant directory quickly enough. In a
parallel=1 build, the race is lost reliably.
