severity 784845 serious
retitle 784845 libdevel-gdb-perl: FTBFS: t/expect.t #8 sometimes fails
thanks

This failed for me when checking for "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and it
also fails here:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/testing/amd64/libdevel-gdb-perl.html

Bugs about packages not building from source are RC because there is a
release goal saying "packages must autobuild".

A build which is only successful "most of the time" should not count
as a package which builds from source, so I'm raising severity accordingly.

[ If my interpretation of release policy is incorrect, someone please
  tell me the amount of probability of failure which is acceptable, because
  release policy does not talk about probabilities anywhere ].

Thanks.
