Dear ppc64el porters,

I talked to upstream about the problem (in an issue that was initially
about a FTBFS, due to a failure in OpenBLAS own testsuite, which has

Unfortunately upstream does not really know where the test failures in
third-party software come from. In particular, they can’t replicate
the
issue (note that they tried with more recent git snapshot than version
0.3.30), and I couldn’t either with Debian version 0.3.30+ds-3 (tried
on the ppc64el Debian porterbox).
At this point, fixing this issue is beyond my time budget and skills
(I
know next to zero about PowerPC, and the issue is probably due to some
changes to PowerPC assembly code). CC’ing the Debian PowerPC porters,
with the hope that they can help.
We're in dire need of your help, the issue is stalling openblas'
migration to testing and because it's a key package, autoremoval
doesn't work.
Paul
Thanks for the ping.
I’m currently reproducing the issue on the ppc64el side and
investigating the root cause. Since openblas is a key package, this
needs a proper fix rather than a workaround.
Let me go through the bug and I’ll update with findings.
Thanks,
Trupti
