deckdebuild faketime implementation (still) not quite right #2069
Description
When working on a Trixie update of di-live I've hit an issue with deckdebuild (via pool) when faketime is enabled (now the default).
The (generated) configure script of one of the upstream d-i source components runs some tests at build time. One of them is checking the system's time keeping. The test touches a file then uses ls -t (lists files; sorted in order of timestamp) to compare itself and the new file's timestamps. That test fails with the output: newly created file is older than distributed files!
As discussed in turnkeylinux/deckdebuild#18 I thought that I had fixed the issue, but it seems not... Clearly something about the way that deckdebuild uses faketime is not right.
Until we circle back to address this issue, the problem can be worked about by disabling faketime when running deckdebuild. E.g. when building a package via pool:
DECKDEBUILD_FAKETIME=false pool-get . di-live
