Right, I had overlooked that unit tests are intentionally disabled on s390x and all other big endian architectures, and thus libcppunit-dev is excluded from the build dependencies on s390x.
It is unclear to me whether the smoke tests could eventually be made to run and pass on s390x, but for the moment it seems reasonable to just skip the failing autopkgtest on that architecture, which I've done with https://git.launchpad.net/~libreoffice/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/commit/?id=7c69bd0dccbfc377fe644042e0dad75f142c04f8. 1:6.1.3-0ubuntu9 is now building in disco-proposed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808147 Title: autopkgtests fail on s390x Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: libreoffice autopkgtests on s390x started failing reliably on 2018-12-11. This corresponds to when a new version of autopkgtest was deployed to the production infrastructure: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives /ubuntu-devel/2018-December/040564.html The failing test is "smoketest". It has the "skippable" restriction, which was previously unknown, and as a result the test was skipped altogether. "skippable" is now a valid and understood restriction, so the test is being run, but it fails: […] mkdir -p /tmp/autopkgtest.A1jy64/build.urp/src/workdir/CustomTarget/i18npool/textconversion/ S=/tmp/autopkgtest.A1jy64/build.urp/src && I=$S/instdir && W=$S/workdir && touch $W/Headers/Library/libcollator_data.so S=/tmp/autopkgtest.A1jy64/build.urp/src && I=$S/instdir && W=$S/workdir && touch $W/Headers/Library/libdict_ja.so S=/tmp/autopkgtest.A1jy64/build.urp/src && I=$S/instdir && W=$S/workdir && touch $W/Headers/Library/libdict_zh.so S=/tmp/autopkgtest.A1jy64/build.urp/src && I=$S/instdir && W=$S/workdir && touch $W/Headers/Library/libindex_data.so S=/tmp/autopkgtest.A1jy64/build.urp/src && I=$S/instdir && W=$S/workdir && touch $W/Headers/Library/liblocaledata_en.so /tmp/autopkgtest.A1jy64/build.urp/src/solenv/gbuild/Package.mk:82: *** Something depends on package test_unittest which does not exist..
