Does that not suggest that the problem is some peculiarity of the build environment, rather than any specific problem with the Inkscape code? Comparing the build logs for v1.0.2 and v1.1, one discovers that the reason that this is not a problem for v1.0.2 is that this specific test apparently does not exist in that version. https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=inkscape&arch=amd64&ver=1.0.2-4&stamp=1618427913&raw=0 https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=inkscape&arch=amd64&ver=1.1-1&stamp=1629559190&raw=0 But what is this? Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Failed to get connection ** (inkscape:2024671): CRITICAL **: 15:19:35.442: dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name: assertion 'connection != NULL' failed ** (inkscape:2024671): CRITICAL **: 15:19:35.442: dbus_g_proxy_call: assertion 'DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed ** (inkscape:2024671): CRITICAL **: 15:19:35.442: dbus_g_connection_register_g_object: assertion 'connection != NULL' failed end_font_face_cb: font face rule limited support. font-family : 'GeomTest'; src : url(fonts/GeomTest-gzipped-SVG-glyphs.otf) end_font_face_cb: Added font: /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/testfiles/rendering_tests/fonts/GeomTest-gzipped-SVG-glyphs.otf Background RRGGBBAA: ffffff00 Area 0:0:110:40 exported to 110 x 40 pixels (96 dpi) Pixbuf::create_from_file: Unrecognized image file format () Pixbuf::create_from_file: Unrecognized image file format () Pixbuf::create_from_file: Unrecognized image file format () 1589 text-gzipped-svg-glyph FAILED text-gzipped-svg-glyph-large SKIPPED Why is a "connection" necessary to retrieve a font file from a "url"? And why should the "server" then "refuse" it? Is this not expecting entirely too much from a mere package-build server? How does D-Bus come into this mess? Surely the resources provided by the filesystem should be all that is required for compilation and regression testing? This is not some kind of network client, or if it somehow is, that functionality should not be required to just build the distribution package. The "src: url(fonts/GeomTest-gzipped-SVG-glyphs.otf)" part actually does come from the regression test, but otherwise that tiny file provides no hint of what is going on. https://sources.debian.org/src/inkscape/1.1-1/testfiles/rendering_tests/text-gzipped-svg-glyph.svg/ But again: why does a font file need to be retrieved from a "url", in the context of a regression test? > But no, I'm not going to ignore a test failure just because it's > skipped in other architectures for different reasons: I'll need more > convincing reasons. Do we know that it's skipped in other architectures for different reasons? Maybe it's skipped in other architectures for the same reason: it breaks things. Again, note that this particular test was not present in previous versions, which is why it never caused a problem before.
