That's a very good question :-). In fact, I made a mistake here: The
full build log which I provided initially was wrong, as it was made
using the unshare backend, and it's already known that this package
needs network access.

(You can tell that I'm using the unshare backend if you see
"Distribution: sid-unshare" in the build log).


But now I've tried again using the file backend (which allows network
access) and I get the same error. I've put the right build log in the
same directory as above, replacing the wrong one:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202510/

(and this time you will see "Distribution: sid-file", which means
I was using the traditional file-based backend).

So, yes, I believe there is a real problem here and it's not yet
another case of "needs network access to build".

Thanks.
