Hi,

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


Relevant part (hopefully):
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2024/01/15/xdg-desktop-portal_1.18.2-1_unstable.log

All bugs filed during this archive rebuild are listed at:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=ftbfs-20240115;users=lucas@debian.org
or:
https://udd.debian.org/bugs/?release=na&merged=ign&fnewerval=7&flastmodval=7&fusertag=only&fusertagtag=ftbfs-20240115&fusertaguser=lucas@debian.org&allbugs=1&cseverity=1&ctags=1&caffected=1#results

A list of current common problems and possible solutions is available at
http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS . You're welcome to contribute!

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 tried rebuilding the package locally (in sbuild in an amd64 bookworm
VM) and this test passed.

I still cannot reproduce this, and it doesn't seem to affect the buildds
or reproducible-builds infrastructure, so I don't consider this to be RC.
I attach an example of a successful build log.

It's probably a race condition in the upstream test suite, possibly
triggered by Lucas' test-build happening on a machine with 8 cores and 32G
of RAM. If someone else can reproduce this, patches gratefully received.

Thanks,
