Do you have any idea what's wrong, is it that kernel-power build scripts somehow provoke autobuilder/whatever to go nuts or there is another problem? Any help on that will be appreciated.
I have been working on this a few times, together with merlin1991. Talked with Pali about it too a few times.

Last time I cleaned out the repo and database as far as I could, but it seems there is still a something lingering. This all started because the package maintainer changed numbering scheme a few times, triggering a really hard to find issue in version number comparison. I easily spent more than 2 days fixing all kind of related issues, but there is still a problem.

I've told Pali a year ago that he could fix the issue himself by just changing the name of the package. This way he didn't need to wait for any fixes, but he decided against that.

There is still a problem in the packages interface with this package and it is almost impossible for me to find and fix the bug. There is only one package in the whole repo affected by this, I feel we should not waste any more time on this and just cut our losses. Rename the package and be done with it. The time wasted on this can be better spent somewhere else.
