mpi4py tests are failing on i386 debci. e.g. https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/unstable/i386/m/mpi4py/16315322/log.gz The failing tests are file IO tests (test_io.TestIOSelf and test_io.TestIOWorld) e.g. ====================================================================== ERROR: testIReadIWrite (test_io.TestIOSelf) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.ktqusnzb/downtmp/build.ZLO/src/test/test_io.py", line 124, in testIReadIWrite fh.Set_view(0, etype) File "mpi4py/MPI/File.pyx", line 215, in mpi4py.MPI.File.Set_view mpi4py.MPI.Exception: MPI_ERR_ARG: invalid argument of some other kind ====================================================================== ERROR: testIReadIWriteAll (test_io.TestIOSelf) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.ktqusnzb/downtmp/build.ZLO/src/test/test_io.py", line 302, in testIReadIWriteAll fh.Set_view(0, etype) File "mpi4py/MPI/File.pyx", line 215, in mpi4py.MPI.File.Set_view mpi4py.MPI.Exception: MPI_ERR_ARG: invalid argument of some other kind ====================================================================== ERROR: testIReadIWriteAt (test_io.TestIOSelf) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.ktqusnzb/downtmp/build.ZLO/src/test/test_io.py", line 75, in testIReadIWriteAt fh.Set_view(0, etype) File "mpi4py/MPI/File.pyx", line 215, in mpi4py.MPI.File.Set_view mpi4py.MPI.Exception: MPI_ERR_ARG: invalid argument of some other kind ====================================================================== ERROR: testIReadIWriteAtAll (test_io.TestIOSelf) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.ktqusnzb/downtmp/build.ZLO/src/test/test_io.py", line 227, in testIReadIWriteAtAll fh.Set_view(0, etype) File "mpi4py/MPI/File.pyx", line 215, in mpi4py.MPI.File.Set_view mpi4py.MPI.Exception: MPI_ERR_ARG: invalid argument of some other kind The problem was already reported upstream, https://github.com/mpi4py/mpi4py/issues/105 It's affecting Redhat, not just Debian. This is not a general 32-bit failure. armhf is passing tests. Probably severity: serious is overkill for this problem. The test failure can be ignored for the purpose of package management by simply skipping test_io.TestIOSelf and test_io.TestIOWorld on i386. The other 1172 mpi4py tests are passing on i386. Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Doctor: Then don't do that.
