Package: libblosc1 Version: 1.11.1+ds1-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, it seems that the c-blosc library has some problems withthe bitshuffle filter on big-endian architectures. The problem causes several test failures on the pytables package [1, 2, 3] when tests are run on mips, s390x and other architectures (all bigendian it seems).
The problem has been reported upstream [4, 5] and it is currently under investigation. If my understanding is correct a quick fix can be implememted by pproperly setting build flags but please refer to the upstream [4] for more details.
