The start estimation is completely wrong for some reason, there's a very large
queue of builds waiting and you need to wait in line.

We would need a build log to determine where the failure lies.

I just found another of your builds, it's saying there's a problem:

dpkg: error processing util-linux (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Since this is natty it could have a transient issue - chat to the distro guys.

Please can you send me the grep output as the problem could be related to the changes I've made in the util-linux pkg.

Thanks,

James

Unfortunately that's not possible on the virtual builders, there's no shell
access.
