Bug#327082: Problems with powerpc build environment? (was: Bug#327082: tetex-bin: pdflatex segfaults on iclusion of png images)

Hi Ryan,

I'm sending this mail to you since you are listed at the bottom of the
last build log of tetex-bin on powerpc (on voltaire).

Or that the build environment is/was screwed on voltaire.  Do you have
any indications for this?  Why was the package built twice on the same
day, same version, "maybe-successfull" both times?
