Thanks Lucas for all the tests.

mafft accesses /dev/stderr to display a progress indicator.  It works on my
sbuild installation as well as on the buildds.  I sent the amd64 logs to our
packaging mailing list after uploading the latest revision.

Do you know what makes /dev/stderr absent on your systems ?  I can try to
redirect the standard error to /dev/null, but it would help me if I could
reproduce the problem locally.

By the way, why not using sbuild's log filtering ?  It make build logs diffs
shorter, and therefore help to look for cues.

Have a nice weekend,
