Good catch, thank you Lucas. There is an i386 specific test override in debian/rules:
ifeq (i386, $(DEB_BUILD_ARCH)) override_dh_auto_test-indep: # Run core Java test suite against zookeeper ant -Dversion=$(DEB_UPSTREAM_VERSION) -DlastRevision=-1 test-core-java endif The Ant settings of the main build aren't use there, and ivy-2.4.0.jar is downloaded from http://repo2.maven.org. I guess this explains the failure. Emmanuel Bourg
