Subject: Disk problems on sarti?

Hi,

I fear sarti might have problems with the harddisk. In #340279 it has
been reported that mysql-dfsg FTBFS because installing tetex-bin
fails, the buildd log is at=20

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=3Dmysql-dfsg-5.0&ver=3D5.0.16-1&arc=
h=3Dhppa&stamp=3D1132626014&file=3Dlog&as=3Draw

The error messages in the log indicate that the file cp227.tcx is both
present and not present. The file is looked for during the creation of
9 TeX formats, and should be found because it is installed by
tetex-base_3.0-10. According to the log, it is not found in only 3 out
of 9 cases. Since the warning is not fatal, it is probably even found
by lamed which is the second format that fails to build. Although the
failure must have a different reason, the file cannot be both present
and not present - or there is a filesystem corruption or harddisk
problem on sarti. If this is true, it is probably also the reason for
the install failure.

Since I have no read access to /var/debbuild, I cannot even check, let
alone fix it. If anybody can access this directory, it would be
interesting to save the file /tmp/tetex.postinst.XXEkgDcr that is
referenced in the buildd log (at least if it isn't completely clear soon
that it is in fact a hardware problem).

TIA, Frank
