    Hi all,

    Unfortunately, I can still reproduce this failure with version 1.12.0+ds1-5, as shown in the attached build log.
    Sorry about that.

    Let us (Santiago or myself) know if it would be useful to provide a VM
    to reproduce this issue.

    Hi Lucas,

    How do you explain that the package builds fine on my laptop, and on the Debian buildd servers, as 1.12.0+ds1-6 (that only contains a cosmetic clean-up of .pytest_cache on clean, compared to -5) built find after I uploaded it? See: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=python-pycdlib&suite=sid

    I'm therefore closing this bug again.

    It's frustrating, I would have like to understand. Maybe something related
    to /tmp mounted as tmpfs vs a "real" partition?

    Right, it looks like it only builds fine if /tmp is a tmpfs. Which looks
    like a valid bug, isn't it? (I can reproduce the failure on my laptop
    with /tmp on the same filesystem as the build dir, and then the failure disapears if I mount -o bind /dev/shm /tmp).

    Note that closing a bug just because you don't understand it does not
    look right.

    I'm setting the severity to important since we know how to make it
    build.
