[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#893206: CPL not usable with Python on armhf and ppc64el

[Ole Streicher]

Package: libcpl-dev
Version: 7.1-1
Severity: normal

On some platforms, notably armhf and ppc64el, one test fails:

This happens with libffi as well as with libavcall. I will disable those
tests, but they basically mean that Python recipes cannot be used with
CPL on those platforms.
