Fails to build during reproducibility testing normal

A package building reproducibly enables third parties to verify that the source matches the distributed binaries. It has been identified that this source package produced different results, failed to build or had other issues in a test environment. Please read about how to improve the situation!

1 new commit since last upload, is it time to release? normal

vcswatch reports that this package seems to have new commits in its VCS but has not yet updated debian/changelog. You should consider updating the Debian changelog and uploading this new version into the archive.

Here are the relevant commit logs:

commit b8c28ac31ee731341fbe216a228034d0f1d0b7d0
Author: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
Date:   Sun Aug 22 13:56:21 2021 +0100

    d/rules: Specify canonical path to mke2fs
    
    If nbdkit is built on a merged-/usr system where both /usr/sbin/mke2fs
    and /sbin/mke2fs exist, it will hard-code the former into its executable,
    resulting in an binary package that will not work correctly when used on
    non-merged-/usr systems. Forcing the canonical path will make it work
    on any combination of merged-/usr and non-merged-/usr build and runtime
    systems.
    
    Alternatively, if mke2fs is moved to /usr/sbin with a compatibility
    symlink /sbin/mke2fs -> /usr/sbin/mke2fs as part of a "symlink farm"
    strategy, nbdkit would record the /usr/sbin/mke2fs path, resulting in
    binaries that would not interoperate with a version of mke2fs that has
    not undergone that transition.
    
    This also brings nbdkit closer to a reproducible build (Policy §4.15).

1 low-priority security issue in buster low

There is 1 open security issue in buster.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2019-14850: (needs triaging) A denial of service vulnerability was discovered in nbdkit 1.12.7, 1.14.1 and 1.15.1. An attacker could connect to the nbdkit service and cause it to perform a large amount of work in initializing backend plugins, by simply opening a connection to the service. This vulnerability could cause resource consumption and degradation of service in nbdkit, depending on the plugins configured on the server-side.

You can find information about how to handle this issue in the security team's documentation.
