[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#846197: cpl-plugin-xshoo: FTBFS randomly (tests 126 and 230 fail)

[Ole Streicher]

Hi Santiago,

OK, I have run it ~15 times without problems last time. I however just
disabled the wrong of the two errors (one causes the other), so I switch
this now.

However, after digging into the code, the failure looks mystic, since
the number there is just created from a substring "0.9x11" by taking
everything left of the x, and then divided by 3600. The string is fixed
in the test. It looks like that there sometimes an additional digit
slips in, but in one case (20161207T200220Z) the extraction results in
25000 instead of 0.00025. Really strange. But I don't feel that I can do
much here (it is already forwarded). Upstream is informed, however.

So, I disabled the (now hopefully right) test, and the package could be
built now 40 times in a row without failure.

Thumbs crossed :-)

Best regards

Ole
