[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1094102: giza: FTBFS: make[6]: *** [Makefile:921: test-suite.log] Error 1

[Santiago Vila]

Hello.

This package FTBFS 70% of the time for me when I try to build
it on a single-CPU machine.

Please try GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nr_cpus=1" or contact me privately
if you need a VM to reproduce it.

In this case I see this in the build log:

../../build/test-driver: line 112: 254916 Segmentation fault      "$@" >> "$log_file" 2>&1

which means we rely on a program which segfaults to determine if the package
is ok or not. In my opinion a test which segfaults is not to be trusted and
we might better disable it.

Thanks.
