Hi,

This package fails to do build a binary-only build (not source) after a
successful build (dpkg-buildpackage ; dpkg-buildpackage -b).

This is probably a clear violation of Debian Policy section 4.9 (clean target),
but this is filed as severity:minor for now, because a discussion on
debian-devel showed that we might want to revisit the requirement of a working
'clean' target.

More information about this class of issues, included common problems and
solutions, is available at
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/DoubleBuild

Relevant part of the build log:
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2023/08/16/pinot_1.21-1_unstable.log

If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

I can at least reproduce this.

Something is deleting mkinstalldirs during the first build, but I'm
failing to work out what.  It doesn't seem to be the upstream build
system, it doesn't seem to be the debian packaging, and it doesn't seem
to be debhelper (at least `dpkg -L automake|xargs grep mkinstalldirs`
doesn't find any matches).

Any ideas?

Cheers,
    Olly
