Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):
> make[1]: Entering directory '/«BUILDDIR»/pygame-1.9.1release+dfsg'
> # Replace embedded font with system copy
> ln -sf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSansBold.ttf \
> /«BUILDDIR»/pygame-1.9.1release+dfsg/debian/python-pygame/usr/share/pyshared/pygame/freesansbold.ttf
> ln: failed to create symbolic link '/«BUILDDIR»/pygame-1.9.1release+dfsg/debian/python-pygame/usr/share/pyshared/pygame/freesansbold.ttf': No such file or directory
> debian/rules:49: recipe for target 'override_dh_link' failed
> make[1]: *** [override_dh_link] Error 1

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
