    In my tests, this fails 100% of the time on
    single-CPU systems and 40% of the time on systems
    with 2 CPUs. I think that's bad enough.

    I have not been able to reproduce this, even with single-CPU build
    systems. I'm building on bookworm with sbuild 0.88.4~bpo12+2 (unshare backend). The full sbuild command line is

    sbuild --build-dir /home/noahm/sbuild \
    --chroot=/home/noahm/.cache/sbuild/bookworm-amd64.tar.zst \
    --chroot-mode=unshare --dist=bookworm --no-run-lintian \
    /home/noahm/spamassassin_4.0.1-1~deb12u1.dsc

    I've executed these tests on cloud systems and on bare-metal systems,
    with SMP and single-CPU configurations, with 100% success rate.

    Can you provide more information about your build environment?

    Based on those tests, I recommend that you try
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nr_cpus=1" first. If that does
    not work please contact me privately, and I will
    gladly provide a VM to test.

    Thanks.

    severity 1093943 important
    thanks

    Note: I'm giving Noah an AWS instance of the same
    type as the ones on which this failure happened for me,
    but after some tests on such instance the bug
    may be a Heisenbug.

    I'm downgrading again for the time being.

    Thanks.
