Please note, however, that there has been a failure on mips for this version: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=garli&arch=mips&ver=2.1-2%2Bb1&stamp=1534400116&raw=0 (but I've not checked if it's the same type of failure). The tests seem to perform simulations based on random numbers, this is the perfect recipe to make the failure rate to be a number strictly greater than zero, which is a pity. A simple fix would be to use a fixed random seed for those random numbers, that way at least the random numbers would always be the same. Thanks.

--- Begin Message ---Hi from the 2021 Debian Med sprint! Closing this now after discussing it in the team -- I have done some more adjustments to also pin down the `bootstrapseed` parameter in the tests (see most recent 2.1-7 upload) and haven't seen a failed testsuite in 30 consecutive tests. Cheers Sascha
