build fails to find package 'apt-src'

[airballking]

For one build roslisp failed to build on the farm. The predecessor and successor builds both succeeded. Builds of the same roslisp version succeeded for all other build jobs. It seemed like a random error.

I discussed the issue on the release mailing list, and was asked to open an issue here.

Here is the history of builds:

• works: http://build.ros.org/job/Ibin_uT32__roslisp__ubuntu_trusty_i386__binary/3/
• fails: http://build.ros.org/job/Ibin_uT32__roslisp__ubuntu_trusty_i386__binary/4/
• works: http://build.ros.org/job/Ibin_uT32__roslisp__ubuntu_trusty_i386__binary/5/

EDIT: In case the above pages get overwritten with the next builds, the specific error was: The package apt-src could not be find even though an earlier apt-get update finished successfully. That happened in step 11.2 of the build.

Here is the command output from the farm:

At the point where the build farm invoked apt-src it has "dropped" its root privileges and can't invoke apt-get update anymore. The problem is similar as #170 (comment) and as far as I can tell a problem in apt-get as it pretended to have finished successfully.

I will close this as "wontfix" since I don't see a way to address the problem. Sorry.

Please feel free to continue commenting here.
