Reviews of unreproducible packages ---------------------------------- 49 package reviews have been added, 25 have been updated and 42 have been removed in this week, adding to our knowledge about [identified issues](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_issues.html). 1 issue type has been updated: - [randomness_in_r_rdb_rds_databases](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/issues/unstable/randomness_in_r_rdb_rds_databases_issue.html) Weekly QA work -------------- During our reproducibility testing, FTBFS bugs have been detected and reported by: - Chris Lamb (4) - Mattia Rizzolo (1) diffoscope development ---------------------- diffoscope 81 was uploaded to experimental by Chris Lamb. It included [contributions](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/commits/81) from: - Chris Lamb - Correct meaningless "1234-content" metadata when introspecting files within archives. This was a regression since #854723 due to the use of auto-incrementing on-disk filenames.
