[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:cockpit
Version: 185-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in buster but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 debian/rules build-indep
dh build-indep
   dh_update_autotools_config -i
   dh_autoreconf -i
   debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure
make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
set -ex; if [ -d debian/git-patches ]; then \
	git init; \
	git config user.email "unused at example.com"; git config user.name "Unused"; \
	git config core.autocrlf false; git config core.safecrlf false && git config gc.auto 0; \
	git add -f . && git commit -a -q -m "Base" && git tag -a initial --message="initial"; \
	git am --whitespace=nowarn debian/git-patches/*.patch; \
	touch -r $(git diff --name-only initial..HEAD) .git; \
fi

(The above is just how the builds ends and not necessarily the most relevant part)

The build was made in my autobuilder with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
and it also fails here:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/cockpit.html

where you can get a full build log if you need it.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use reassign and affects,
so that this is still visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.
