    Dear maintainer:

    During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, your package failed to build:

    [ please read the notes at the end ]

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [...]
    [...]
    PASS: myth_dag_random
    PASS: myth_key_create
    PASS: myth_key_getspecific
    PASS: myth_key_destructor
    PASS: myth_globalattr_set_n_workers
    PASS: measure_create
    E: Build killed with signal TERM after 60 minutes of inactivity --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The above is just how the build ends and not necessarily the most relevant part.
    If required, the full build log is available here:

    https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202503/

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

    In this particular case, the build was made on AWS machines of type
    m7a.medium and r7a.medium. Incidentally, those machines have a single CPU,
    but at this point it's not clear yet if that's the condition which triggers
    the build failure or, for example, the fact that they are overall slower
    than other instance types, or maybe some other reason.

    If you could not reproduce the bug using GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nr_cpus=1"
    please contact me privately, as I am willing to provide ssh access to a
    virtual machine where the bug is fully reproducible.

    Disclaimer: Please note that this is probably a violation of
    Debian Policy 4.2, and the only reason I'm initially reporting
    it as "important" is to avoid discussing about the severity.

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

    Thanks.
