gb octave-odepkg_0.8.2-2 . mips The build failed with a mysterious error message "semop(1): encountered an error: Invalid argument" and from other bugs in the BTS, it seems that this is not a bug in any specific package. I actually wanted to try a rebuild on a porterbox, but I didn't get any answer from debian-admin and gabrielli.debian.org seems to be unreachable. Thanks Thomas
