[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi

I got the build error below.  Presumably it happens because the jobs to
create the tools has not finished before the help2man jobs has started.

I will patch around this in the Debian packaging to serialize the build:

override_dh_auto_build:
	# build tools that help2man needs first
	dh_auto_build $(DH_BUILD_OPTS) -- shepherd herd halt reboot
	dh_auto_build $(DH_BUILD_OPTS)

But it seems like a upstream problem.  I know how annoying these kind of
bugs are, sorry for another report of this type :)
