I did not get that mail of 20:12:09 +0100 by Istvan Toth.
The thread in the archive
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2025/01/threads.html
currently shows a hole before your mail of 14:45:14 -0500.

The answers to my mails from Istvan Toth are Cc'ed to my address.
Possibly you got such a Cc, too.

It would be interesting to know whether a .deb package which causes a
good long-running "dpkg -i" does so reproducibly several times.
That way you would learn that it is a problem at "make dep-pkg" time
(if working once means working always) or a problem at "dpkg -i"-time
(if working once is followed by failure next time).

(Don't forget to record the output of you "make dep-pkg" runs in a file
and to store one which causes immediate "dpkg -i"-failure and one which
causes "dpkg -i" success at least once. Differences between those might
give a clue why the nvidia code fails in conftest/functions.h.)


Have a nice day :)
