Correct.

But it still builds fine for me.
3 times in a row, with -B, -A, and without both.

Sorry, I don't understand the connection to building with -A. Is
there a report about the package failing with it? Does it fail for
you if you build with -A?

So you got a failing build? That's potentially great since this might
help us to pin down the problem which neither the buildds nor ci.d.n
since some time nor Niko's or my enviroment see.

(And on the reproducible builds it works roughly half of the time:

)
