I found the actual cause - there's a race condition in the testsuite which will usually (100% in practice) cause it to deadlock on single processor systems. You can look at the bug I filed upstream if you want. > What I know is this is not rare, like another one I fixed: > https://bugs.debian.org/854500 This is at best a big hack, since it almost certainly hides a real bug, but I guess in this situation it does kind of work since the bug is in the testsuite. > Could you kindly help to upload? > Buildd [0] shows it actually build fine for all ARCHs I should build, > so I don't what to trigger the autoremove ...
