Source: slepc Followup-For: Bug #1076130 Control: block 1076130 by 1076579 As far as I can tell this test failure simply got caught in the mpi transition (mpich on 32-bit).
Nothing seems to be blocking mpi migration to testing apart from ucx being removed from ppc64el (see Bug#1076579). I think that after the 32-bit mpi transition has migrated to testing, slepc will be able to pass tests again. Drew
