I closed the bugreport when in -3 I optimistally expected the test 
failures to be gone.  I agree this bug should stay open when that's not 
the case.

I disagree, however, that the current level of flakiness renders the 
package unsuitable for a stable Debian release.

Please do clarify if you think that my reasoning is wrong.

Bug#975696: [Pkg-sugar-devel] Bug#975696: link-grammar: multi-thread test fails

Hi Jonas

The build of link-grammar/5.8.0-3 has already failed on ppc64el [1]
(details below).

As fun as it is, please let's avoid the BTS sports and leave this bug
open until link-grammar builds and passes its autopkgtests reliably.

Regards
Graham

I tightened the test checking - enabled them during build and made them 
more verbose (and explicitly passed environment variable "srcdata" which 
might have previously failed).

Those changed was finalized and released today as 5.8.0-2, and I hope it 
can shed some light on what more detailed fails when it does.

To my surprise, the armhf failures are evidently no longer persistent 
even _before_ this latest release.  I therefore relax severity of this 
bug.


Thanks for the report, Graham,

 - Jonas
