[Pkg-swan-devel] Bug#846026: strongswan: FTBFS randomly (failing tests)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:strongswan
Version: 5.5.1-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 debian/rules build-indep
dh build-indep --parallel --with autoreconf,systemd
   dh_testdir -i -O--parallel
   dh_update_autotools_config -i -O--parallel
   dh_autoreconf -i -O--parallel
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'.
libtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4/config'.

libtoolize: copying file 'm4/config/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/config/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/config/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/config/lt~obsolete.m4'

This is only the end of the build. I attach three different build logs
in full.

The failure happens randomly. Sometimes it fails, sometimes it does not.

Thanks.
