Some good news: the code doesn't seem to need a lot of changes to make it work on arm64. I did this: * Changed the type of the local variables to which the value returned from fgetc, getopt or get_next is assigned from char to int. * Made get_next return int instead of char, and, to make it ret

2014-11-11 Thread Edmund Grimley Evans
There are also several places where the value returned from getopt is assigned to a variable of type char before being compared with -1. I would guess that the programs are going into an infinite loop while trying to parse their command-line arguments when char is unsigned. -- debian-science-main

Source: apophenia Version: 0.999b+ds3-1 Severity: important Builds of apophenia on most architectures failed because the test suite either tripped sbuild's inactivity timeout or encountered unexpected failures, most commonly of distribution_tests. Could you please take a look? You can find the l
