Hi folks
For the past couple of weeks, a package that I look after in universe, 
ardour, has consistantly failed to build on the servers, yet I have 
managed to successfully build the package in a pbuilder, as well as in 
sbuild. I've been informed by others that packages that use scons for 
building, regularly have FTBFS problems.

Here is the i386 build log: 
http://librarian.launchpad.net/7651580/buildlog_ubuntu-gutsy-i386.ardour_1:2.0.2-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

As can be seen, pkg-config >= 0.8 can't be found, yet a greater version 
is installed in the chroot.

Could someone possibly help me work out what is causing the failure on 
the servers, yet works fine in a local sbuild? Off list is fine.

Further to that, I am wondering whether anything can be done to more 
perminantly address such failures, other than making a modification to 
the package, which in turn, creates more work in the future?

Thanks for your time.
