Dear maintainer:

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

[ Note: It looks like this package is trying to do the same as
  dh-autoreconf in #1146143 and it fails in a similar way. ]

Below you will find the last part of the build log (probably the most
relevant part, but not necessarily). If required, the full build log
is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202608/

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:tigervnc, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.
