Bug#1041738: src:lme4: fails to migrate to testing for too long: causes timeout in autopkgtests on i386
Hi All Just a quick update. On Sun, 23 Jul 2023 at 15:07, Graham Inggs wrote: > For what it's worth, r-cran-afex[1] and r-cran-mertools[2] **are** > passing in unstable.

Since rmatrix 1.6-0-1 migrated, these tests are now passing on i386 and no longer blocking the migrating of lme4. > Yet r-cran-mlmrev[3] still seems to have the timeout issue in unstable. The timeout of r-cran-mlmrev's autopkgtests on i386 is the last blocker for lme4, so I will allow lme4 to migrate and (attempt) to clone this bug to r-cran-mlmrev.

Maybe this is the sane option, but CC'ing the i386 porters (Hi Adrian!) anyway. Regards Graham

In parallel I am also running it in a i386 Docker container for Debian unstable and that seems slow esp on the second file tests/lmerTest.R So if it were me I'd just skip that test file on i386 and move on.

As I mentioned already, we can't even do that easily because lme4 is currently a key package, and key packages are not autoremoved [1].

They | fail in i386 with a newer version of lme4. Sorry, my fault. I was wrong here so thanks for the correction. I looked at the bottom of one of those logs, saw a PASS and missed the FAIL preceding it. Still, it is a self-imposed problem by Debian. At some point we managed to let go of m68k too. But if you all think we are better auto-removing lme4 over i386 fails _of packages using it_ as opposed to fails in itself then I cannot stop you. That does not mean I concur with the decision.

Paul, Is this is not an example of a release manager override? The affectect packages all work together in unstable and could migrate. Dirk -- dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org

This is what I suspected, but it needs to be resolved in Debian by somebody, somehow. lme4 is a key package, removing it from i386 isn't going to be easy if at all possible. If you don't want to investigate yourself, maybe contact the i386 porter (bunk) and ask his help. Another option is to file bugs for your reverse dependencies if you believe they are at fault. At least r-cran-mlmrev isn't a key package so with an RC bug filed against it, it will be autoremoved in due time. Paul OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The lme4 package is in fine standing at CRAN https://cloud.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_lme4.html and build everywhere on Debian (see this and other links) https://cloud.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_lme4.html If three other packages (that I have nothing to do with) fail in _their autopkgtests_ may I suggest you talk to the maintainers of _those packages_? lme4 is _core_ package, written and maintained by current and former R Core members. It is one of the most widely used and watched packages around. This is most likely an issue of shooting the messenger as the root cause with be with those other packages. It could be an issue as simple as CRAN (and upstream) no longer checking on i386 though it usually does not fail there.
