Hi,
those tests sometimes fail because there is some randomness involved.
They test the convergence of some algorithms, and sometimes the get
stuck in local optima.
The fix is to test the package during build with a fixed random seed, so that
we only get real failing tests: if the fixed random seed no test is failing
on the maintainer machine, no test should fail on the buildbots.
I already implemented the fix, and will try to find a sponsor to upload the
fixed package in the next days...
Thank you,
Tiziano

Hi,
I was able to reproduce the bug on Wheezy yesterday night, but not
today. I couldn't find any relevant package that migrated in the mean
time, so not closing this bug without confirmation or enlightenment.
Attached build log and diff against the failed one. Please note that I
tried to rebuild it several time, and it failed twice so far, with
another failed test (FastICA, end of log attached) for the second
failure (didn't keep the log of the first one). Don't know how to
reproduce the issue “for sure”, but maybe the unreproducible tag should
be removed.
Regards
David
