Bug#763677: libgnome2-vfs-perl: non-reproducible build due to hash ordering

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libgnome2-vfs-perl
Version: 1.082-1
Severity: wishlist
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: randomness

This package cannot be built reproducibly because
Gnome2::VFS::Install::Files content varies per build.  The $self hash
order is non-deterministic. It would be nice to have a sort() call
somewhere there; I'm not quite certain yet if that somewhere is actually
in ExtUtils::Depends (in which case this bug should probably acquire a
'toolchain' usertag too.)

See https://jenkins.debian.net//userContent/diffp/libgnome2-vfs-perl_1.082-1.diffp.html
for a diff between two builds on jenkins; Holger verified that this
also happens with manual builds.

(See https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds for information
 on the reproducible builds effort.)
