Description Juro Bystricky 2017-09-28 16:35:19 UTC 
Created attachment 4032 [details]
diffoscope output demonstrating the bug.

The package kernel-devsrc built at various times (from scratch) can contain files that have different permissions (see the attached diffoscope file).
This has been observed several times, and seems always the same files are affected:

include/config/auto.conf
include/config/auto.conf.cmd 
include/config/tristate.conf
generated/autoconf.h

So probably a race...
Comment 1 Juro Bystricky 2017-11-28 21:27:42 UTC 
Since all of the offending files are generated, I am not sure they should be actually included in the kernel-devsrc package at all.
Comment 2 Saul Wold 2017-12-11 00:49:03 UTC 
Changing a make _mrproper_scripts_ to mrproper fixes this, patch has been sent.

With the patch in ML we fail "test_kernel_module":

We test this as part of reproducible builds and no longer see this.
