Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, this package failed to build.

Below you will find the most relevant part.
If required, the full build log is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202605/

Note: This has been observed in reproducible-builds on a build having parallel=12
and it also happens more than 80% of the time in some AWS machines. I found that
the following patch is enough for the build failure to go away:
--- a/tests/test_multiprocessing.py
+++ b/tests/test_multiprocessing.py
@@ -26,7 +26,7 @@

     def test_queue(self):
         def getxy(_q, _w):
-            _cfg = _q.get_nowait()
+            _cfg = _q.get(timeout=1)
             _w.put(_cfg.x.y)
         cfg = ini.INIConfig()
         cfg.x.y = '42'


which is why I'm tagging this bug as "patch" and setting myself as the owner.
(Next step will be to fix it in trixie)


About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:python-iniparse, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.
