retitle 1069539 softhsm2: FTBFS randomly (failing tests) severity 1069539 important thanks
Hello. This one has been failing 20% of the time for me for the last months/years but never got to the point of reporting it myself. See the bunch of build logs I accumulated so far: https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/softhsm2/ I'm changing the title because I think it's not arch-specific at all. See also this test failure on i386: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rbuild/bookworm/i386/softhsm2_2.6.1-2.1.rbuild.log.gz
I've tried to reproduce this on amdahl in an armel chroot, but it builds just fine there.
Just try building on amd64, but do it a bunch of times. If that does not work please contact me privately as I can provide a machine where the package ftbfs "randomly in a consistent way". The tests in src/lib/test are based on random data, which explains why they sometimes fail, but IMHO a 20% failure rate is too much for a Debian package (I feel the upstream authors should have fine-tuned the tests before making any release). Thanks.
