It looked like the apt repository was in an inconsistent state on the pre-release. I'm not sure why though.

Jack,

I've seen that happen as well.  I actually tried the pre-release build 5 times throughout the day and they all failed.  I may have gotten lucky, so I sent the original email to see if anybody else had the same experience.

All,

I ran into some strange behavior recently.  I tried to do a pre-release build recently on my abb stack.  I had done one about 2 months ago, but forgot to do a release (I'm losing it).  Despite not making any changes, the pre-release build failed.  I tried several "fixes" but nothing seemed to work.  I compared the abb stack to the motoman stack (already released).  Even though both had nearly the same dependencies, abb wouldn't build.  By that point I had convinced myself that something was wrong with the pre-release.  I went ahead and released abb, which surprisingly built with no problems.  The links for the releases can be found below.  Has anybody else encountered this problem?  What am I missing?



Sometimes the build farm will fail for transitory reasons.

Maybe a bunch of packages you depend on were being rebuilt when your pre-release ran. (Only a guess.)
