• Bug#1105587: tigervnc: FTBFS with make --shuffle=reverse: make[1]: ***

    From Lucas Nussbaum@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 13 21:30:20 2025
    Source: tigervnc
    Version: 1.15.0+dfsg-1
    Severity: minor

    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):
    make[1]: Entering directory '/build/reproducible-path/tigervnc-1.15.0+dfsg' debian/rules:236: update target 'unix/xserver/.apply-vnc-patch-xorg.stamp' due to: target does not exist

    patch --no-backup-if-mismatch -p1 < /build/reproducible-path/tigervnc-1.15.0+dfsg/unix/xserver21.patch && \
    touch .apply-vnc-patch-xorg.stamp; \
    }

    Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
