[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#797793: Test failure of python-htseq on 32bit arches

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Simon,

I guess/hope you know that the Debian Med team (namely Diane Trout)
packaged htslib for the Debian distribution.  Recently we upgraded to
the latest version (0.6.1p1) which caused some trouble with one test
(out of 37) for 32 bit architectures.  The issue is reported as Debian
bug #797793.  For instance here is one build log of i386:

   https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=htseq&arch=i386&ver=0.6.1p1-1&stamp=1439721264

with the critical part of

python2.7 test/test.py
Doctest of tss.rst:
**********************************************************************
File "../doc/tss.rst", line 114, in tss.rst
Failed example:
    wincvg
Expected:
    array([0, 0, 0, ..., 0, 0, 0], dtype=int32)
Got:
    array([0, 0, 0, ..., 0, 0, 0])
**********************************************************************
1 items had failures:
   1 of  37 in tss.rst
***Test Failed*** 1 failures.
1 of 37 tests failed.


Could you please give some hint how to deal with this?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
