That's great news indeed. Thanks! Does that mean that if I modify the patch so that it exits with error
if the compress fails 5 times in a row then the patch will be ok for you?

I'll start to work on that right now, I don't think it would be too difficult.

(In either case, bear in mind that according to the tests I made, the failures are independent, so five failures
in a row is extremely unlikely, like 0.05 to the power of 5).

(BTW: I'll tell you later about some ideas I had to properly diagnose this in case we would still want to).

Thanks.

Ok, revised patch attached.


Regarding the way to properly debug this, since I modified my setup to be able to build either modified packages or packages using modified build-dependencies,
I was thinking about something like this in postinst:

# Compress the JS and CSS with python-compressor and python-lesscpy
- take a btrfs snapshot before compress
- try compress
- if compress fails, email me about it and sleep for 24 hours, I would
then give you ssh access to the machine, as the bug would be 100%
reproducible then.

Would you be willing to debug it properly if I gave you ssh access
to a machine where we know the compress operation will fail?

(If not, I will probably not bother, but if yes, maybe we could try it,
this bug has become a real challenge).

Thanks.
