Package: mbr
Version: 1.1.11-5+b1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

mbr's self-tests use VM86 to run the MBR code under Linux.  This
kernel feature is only available on i386, so the self-tests are
disabled on amd64.

However, the self-tests will also fail if mbr is built in an i386
chroot on an amd64 kernel.

Furthermore, VM86 will be disabled even on i386 kernels starting
with Linux 4.1 (see #792003).

Please disable the self-tests or change them to use a software
emulator such as libx86.

Ben.
