Unfortunately I can't tell you about reasons why your build failed, but
lack of descriptive log messages is a knwown bug in underlying software,
which autobuilder uses to perform the builds. I already reported this to
maintainer. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

My guess is the reason of this and similar issues in most cases is
infrastructure problems. Usually reuploading packages even without
increasing versions should help.
