Package: src:mdanalysis
Version: 2.9.0-8
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs trixie sid help

Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, your package failed to build:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

testsuite/MDAnalysisTests/analysis/test_dihedrals.py::TestDihedral::test_dihedral_attr_warning[client_Dihedral0] 
E: Build killed with signal TERM after 30 minutes of inactivity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- The way it fails is not always the same. I've put a collection of different build logs here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202506/

- The build does not always fail, but the failure rate here is around 90% (tested on systems
with 2 CPUs), which makes it not to be suitable for release. However, for some reason,
the failure rate is only 20% on single-cpu systems, maybe this difference means something.

- I believe, but I can't check anymore, that the failure rate raised a lot when I switched
my autobuilders to trixie (i.e. when I started to use the kernel of trixie).

- This failure where the autobuilder hangs also happens on the buildds. Please see:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=mdanalysis&amp;arch=all&amp;ver=2.9.0-3&amp;stamp=1744942413&amp;raw=0
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=mdanalysis&amp;arch=amd64&amp;ver=2.9.0-7&amp;stamp=1745409028&amp;raw=0
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=mdanalysis&amp;arch=arm64&amp;ver=2.9.0-6&amp;stamp=1745371276&amp;raw=0
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=mdanalysis&amp;arch=armel&amp;ver=2.9.0-8&amp;stamp=1747011477&amp;raw=0
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=mdanalysis&amp;arch=i386&amp;ver=2.9.0-2&amp;stamp=1744893854&amp;raw=0
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=mdanalysis&amp;arch=mips64el&amp;ver=2.9.0-4&amp;stamp=1745023633&amp;raw=0

all of which end with a message like this:

E: Build killed with signal TERM after 150 minutes of inactivity

(In my build logs, I lowered the value to 30 minutes because I know that in normal
circumstances the package should take a lot less than that).

- There are also similar failures (autobuilder hang) in the reproducible-builds site:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rbuild/unstable/amd64/mdanalysis_2.9.0-8.rbuild.log.gz
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/logs/unstable/armhf/mdanalysis_2.8.0-4.build2.log.gz

- I have no idea of what's going on here, but as always, I can offer a VM to reproduce
(contact me privately for details).

Thanks.
