Hi,

GNU Make now has a --shuffle option that simulates non-deterministic ordering
of target prerequisites. See
https://trofi.github.io/posts/238-new-make-shuffle-mode.html and also previous
work in Debian by Santiago Vila:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/make-shuffle/

This package fails to build with make --shuffle=reverse.
This is likely to be caused by a missing dependency in
debian/rules or an upstream Makefile.

More information about this mass bug filing is available at
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/Shuffle

Relevant part (hopefully):
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2025/05/05/shuffle/reverse/lomiri-indicator-network_1.1.0-1_unstable_reverse.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

I am unable to duplicate this bug from Debian Unstable. Please check
whether this bug still exists for you.

Thank you,

The following tests FAILED:
          2 - unit-tests (Failed)

used to happen *randomly* for me in bookworm, without any --shuffle option.

But as a random error I can't reproduce it anymore in trixie or
unstable, so I believe it should be safe to close the bug using the
trixie version.

(Let's see what Lucas says about this)

Thanks.

Hi!

if you can't reproduce it, I think it's OK to close it.
