yeah, that's a past tense. > (2) more recently (yesterday) : > https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=flint&suite=experimental > the version 2.5.2-4 of flint built perfectly on amd64. that's a different version. > (3) many tests on different amd64 systems (three by myself, and a few others > from people on #debian-mentors) didn't have any issue with 2.5.2-4 either. that's still a different version.

Indeed, with the very same chroot, I can build -4, but -3 FTBFS. Evidently, this: - \left|\frac{a_{n-2}}{a_n}\right|^{\frac{1}{2}}, \dots + \left|\frac{a_{n-2}}{a_n}\right|^{\frac{1}{2}}, \dotsc Is enough to fix this bug, and it also makes sense, given that the failure log we pointed to you fails while doing latex stuff. I'd say: mark this bug as fixed in that version, add the number to the changelog and upload to unstable (why in first case that one went to experimental?) -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
