For bug housekeeping, I'm reopening #339758 against cfitsio accordingly and cloning a new bug against cfitsio3. The cfitsio3 bug is blocking #397216 against libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl. I'm also upgrading the severities of the cfitsio and cfitsio3 bugs to 'grave', because the libraries are unusable on arm and mipsel. From the package descriptions: cfitsio is a library of ANSI C routines for reading and writing FITS format data files. but, looking at cfileio.c in the source, the byteswapping problem prevents both the reading and the writing. I'm Ccing the #339758 submitter, Rafael Laboissiere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Hope this is OK with him. > Finally, I note that the libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl tests have failed > on mipsel and arm all the time, including the current version in stable > (1.03-1). The errors were just ignored earlier. I'm going to request the removal of old libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl packages on arm and mipsel next. After this, #397216 can be downgraded to 'important'. The actual cfitsio issue should be quite easy to fix by someone with access to arm and mipsel hosts.
