Note that debrebuild/debootstrap uses unstable and metasnap to find=20
packages. I ran the pipeline three more times:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pdns-recursor/-/jobs/10006412
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pdns-recursor/-/jobs/10007298
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pdns-recursor/-/jobs/10007534

And the third time it succeeded, while the missing packages are still=20
not available on metasnap right now, as it has a 24 hour delay. So my=20
hypothesis is that debrebuild did get an older unstable archive then the=20
sbuild job before, even hours after the dinstall run. I tried some=20
custom jobs to debug this but they did not show the same behaviour.=20
Currently I have no idea how to debug this further so would be happy=20
about any insights.

Regarding the design issue: For a build against unstable the job assumes=20
that it can get at least the same archive state as the sbuild job=20
before. It would also be possible to cache the build dependency packages=20
between the jobs but we don't have enough storage for that. For builds=20
against other suites or distributions we discussed to make the apt repos=20
in debrebuild/debootstrap configurable but I am not aware of a patch=20
yet.

Cheers Jochen
