Try a different seed? Same issue: it's a stochastic test. Other option is bump the number of iterations it performs. Best, Daniel On Dec 19, 2016 23:32, "Andreas Tille" wrote: > Hi Daniel, > > thanks for the helpful hint. I've uploaded a package with the suggested > fix and I hope this random

Hi Daniel, thanks for the helpful hint. I've uploaded a package with the suggested fix and I hope this random error will be solved now. However, there seems to be another issue which happens on i386 architecture only: I: pybuild base:184: cd /«BUILDDIR»/python-biom-format-2.1.5+dfsg/.pybuild/

Hi Greg, the Debian packaged biom-format received a bug report which leaves me clueless how to track it down. Is there possibly some way to make the test suite more verbose to find out what part might cause the random failure which you can see in the buil logs linked from the bug page https:/
