Hi,

I had a look #1104965 and concluded it was an RC bug caused by bootp not
failing to build from source.

The log for that build contains:
Despite the failure, we get a "make[1]: [Makefile:56: install] Error 1
(ignored)" because the upstream task definition is explicitly marked as
"ignore failures".  Note that the `for` loop should also have a `set
-e;` to ensure it fails properly if only some of the files fail to install.

I will have a look at a quick fix for #1104965, but this will require an
upstream patch that I will leave for the maintainer.

Best regards,
Niels
