I've put a bunch of failed build logs here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/python-opcua/

You will also find several failed build logs here:

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


Note: I got six failures in a row after trying six times, back in
October, and that's why I reported it as serious, but now the failures
seem to be random, like many other packages I found:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=sanvila@debian.org;tag=ftbfs-randomly

I'm not using serious severity for those (unless they fail a lot,
say, more than 20% of the time) because I am still waiting for release
manager to say something about it (see Bug #844264 for details).

The bad thing is that this package has already been removed from
stretch. I'm sorry for that. It is not easy to assign a "fair"
severity for a bug when it happens randomly.

Thanks.
