Hi Andreas and Adrian, >>> since there are no responses so far I wonder how to proceed with the >>> package. >> >> Yes, that's one of the bugs that has been on my list for a while as well...
Regarding the original bug, I have confirmed again with upstream that it's fine to disable these tests, which I have done in Git. Builds fine for me now. Does everyone agree? I can make an upload if so. I have also filed an issue upstream for them to make the tests a bit more robust. >>> I need to admit I get a different error when trying to build >>> the current state of gubbins packaging Git: >>> >>> gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I../tests >>> -pthread -g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/gubbins-2.1.0=. >>> -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -c -o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-run_all_tests.o `test -f '../tests/run_all_tests.c' >>> || echo './'`../tests/run_all_tests.c >>> /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -I../tests -pthread -g -O2 >>> -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/gubbins-2.1.0=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat >>> -Werror=format-security -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -o run_all_tests >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_branch_sequences.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_gubbins.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_parse_phylip.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_snp_searching.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_snp_sites.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_vcf_parsing.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-helper_methods.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-run_all_tests.o -lcheck libgubbins.la -lz -lm -lrt >>> -lsubunit >>> libtool: link: gcc -I../tests -pthread -g -O2 >>> -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/gubbins-2.1.0=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat >>> -Werror=format-security -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,-z -Wl,now -o >>> .libs/run_all_tests ../tests/run_all_tests-check_branch_sequences.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_gubbins.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_parse_phylip.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_snp_searching.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_snp_sites.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-check_vcf_parsing.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-helper_methods.o >>> ../tests/run_all_tests-run_all_tests.o -lcheck ./.libs/libgubbins.so -lz >>> -lm -lrt -lsubunit -pthread <snip> >>> collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status >>> Makefile:742: recipe for target 'run_all_tests' failed >>> make[4]: *** [run_all_tests] Error 1 >> >> This looks like a completely different issue altogether I have never >> seen, for me it was always failing tests. >> ... > > That's #837445 in the check package, which became fatal with gcc-6 in > unstable defaulting to PIE since this week Tuesday. I can't reproduce this in a current unstable chroot; it looks like #837445 has been fixed. Cheers Sascha
