Thank you for conducting these tests.

It happens to fail in plain sbuild now. It also happens to fail in plain
pbuilder on the reproducible builds infrastructure now:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/logs/unstable/amd64/khal_0.9.10-1.1.build2.log.gz

The error seem to be changing from build to build, but I wasn't able to
produce a successful build in 10 attempts. Thus raising to rc severity.
