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/proftpd-dfsg_1.3.8.c+dfsg-3_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

Hello,

I'm failing to provoke the issue using proftpd 1.3.9b-1 using the
instructions on that page. So I would guess that the issue has been
solved in the meantime. Can we close?

Hi Hilmar,

yes, let's close, and I'll reopen or file another bug if I can reproduce
it again in the future.
