Hi,
(1) according to:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=flint&suite=sid
the version 2.5.2-3 of flint built perfectly on amd64.
yeah, that's a past tense.
(2) more recently (yesterday) :
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=flint&suite=experimental
the version 2.5.2-4 of flint built perfectly on amd64.
that's a different version.
(3) many tests on different amd64 systems (three by myself, and a few others
from people on #debian-mentors) didn't have any issue with 2.5.2-4 either.
that's still a different version.
Don't try to mix versions thinking it's always the same.
This suggest the package isn't at fault and the rare systems where the
failures occurred should be double-checked for the real root of the problem.
Indeed, with the very same chroot, I can build -4, but -3 FTBFS.
Evidently, this:
- \left|\frac{a_{n-2}}{a_n}\right|^{\frac{1}{2}}, \dots
+ \left|\frac{a_{n-2}}{a_n}\right|^{\frac{1}{2}}, \dotsc
Is enough to fix this bug, and it also makes sense, given that the
failure log we pointed to you fails while doing latex stuff.
I'd say: mark this bug as fixed in that version, add the number to the
changelog and upload to unstable (why in first case that one went to
experimental?)
Mattia, the original #818990 was a FTBFS running the unit tests of the
2.5.2-3 package. When investigating this FTBFS, I found another failure,
within the documentation. I added a patch fixing this documentation
issue to get 2.5.2-4 (will be in next upstream too since I forwarded, of
course). That is due to some changes in texlive, which made a typo turn
into an error. And it is for this 2.5.2-4 that Chris still complained,
and that I counted you among the two reporters of FTBFS.
So now the situation is :
- Chris finds the package faulty within the reproducible framework ;
- every other compilation test of 2.5.2-4 was a success.
Perhaps this bug report should be re-assigned to another package?
