| Strange. The buildd failure had nothing to do with these messages, though.
| Did you read the log?
I read it and of course buildd did fail because of this : the orig.tar.gz
does not contain those PAxHeaders.8890 however it appears that it is present
on all platforms (except m68k which runs fine) and when buildd tries to build
the package, it fails because the debian/rules does know where the code is
since there is this PaxHeaders.8890 in the way everywhere.
Again on my PC the tarball is fine and on m68k everything is fine !
where do these PaxHeaders.8890 come from ?
One possible test
apt-get source -b -y freefem3d
it runs perfectly on my pc from beginning to finish and absolutely no
PaxHEADERS.8890 !!!
so my belief is that something is weird/broken somewhere on buildd or
elsewhere (and not in my package)
thanks for your answer
Best regards
C.
