[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#841199: nodejs: FTBFS randomly (parallel/test-regress-GH-746 fails)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:nodejs
Version: 4.6.0~dfsg-2
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

The relevant part of the build log is included above.

The build was made on a QEMU/KVM virtual machine with a single CPU and sbuild.

It does not always fail, but I tried 7 times and it failed 5:

Status: failed      nodejs_4.6.0~dfsg-2_amd64-20161018T055104Z

Status: failed      nodejs_4.6.0~dfsg-2_amd64-20161018T111145Z

I'm attaching five different build logs.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use reassign and affects,
so that this is still visible in the page for this package.

Thanks.
