  • Bug#1105614: perl-depends: FTBFS with make --shuffle=reverse: make[1]:

    From Lucas Nussbaum@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 13 21:30:27 2025
    Source: perl-depends
    Version: 2016.1029+git8f67695-3
    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):
