Package: python-biom-format Version: 2.1.4+dfsg-1 Severity: serious As seen at http://buildd.debian.org/python-biom-format, this package fails to build on all big-endian architectures in the archive (mips, powerpc, s390x). While this build failure has only appeared with the upload of 2.1.5+dfsg-1, this is not a regression in that version of the upstream source; instead, the package was already broken, but what has changed now is that a new version of dh-python correctly finds the tests and runs them at build time where before dh_auto_test was silently passing.
I'm not sure if this points to breakage in python-biom-format, or in something lower down the stack that it depends on. I've confirmed that python-numpy autopkgtests run ok on powerpc (except for openblas - and the tests can't be run on s390x because openblas is not built for that architecture), and h5py autopkgtests run ok on s390x. python-scipy's autopkgtests fail with SIGABRT on both powerpc and s390x, maybe related, maybe not (test_random_complex_exact (test_basic.TestLstsq) ... *** Error in `python3.5': free(): invalid pointer: 0x1172c2a8 ***). And hdf5 itself doesn't have any autopkgtests, and any build-time tests pass; and h5py in any case should catch any bugs with its own testsuite before python-biom-format. So it seems most likely that this is a bug in python-biom-format itself rather than any of its dependencies, thus assigning here. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
