Description Rob van Riel 2017-02-10 10:22:23 UTC

Revdep-rebuild produced the output below. "Checking dynamic linking consistency" was over in a blink, while this normally takes quite a bit of time. Given the write error just before it, I suspect it scanned an empty list.

Your system is consistent


Reproducible: Always




Have not yet tested accross multiple systems, but will in the coming days. Will update if this shows different behaviours.

Probably this is a duplicate of bug 589130.
