Description
|
There has been done a lot of reproducible fixes in 5.5.0, so it is worth to
wait entering this version sid before retrying.
.
qhelpgenerator inserts a timestamp into documentation (qhc) files,
which are sqlite3 databases. The timestamp used now respects
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, but is still affected by timezone.

.
sqlite3 databases appear to be reproducible in themselves, but qhelp
generator is using various file IDs which become non-deterministic due to
map access. For example
.

.
I suspect we just need a few sorts (and some time to build qt4-x11...)
