[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#834856: python-pysam fails to build on mips64el arch.: failed test

[Jonathan Jackson]

Package: python-pysam
Version: 0.9.1.4+ds-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,



Python-pysam packages failed to build on March 24th on a mips64el 
architecture. Here is the tail of the failed-build log:

>testAlt (VariantFile_test.TestParsing) ... ok
>testChrom (VariantFile_test.TestParsing) ... ok
>testFilter (VariantFile_test.TestParsing) ... ok
>testFormat (VariantFile_test.TestParsing) ... ok
>testId (VariantFile_test.TestParsing) ... ok
>testInfo (VariantFile_test.TestParsing) ... Illegal instruction
>E: pybuild pybuild:274: test: plugin distutils failed with: exit code=132: cd /«BUILDDIR»/python-pysam-0.9.1.4+ds/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_2.7/build; python2.7 -m nose

Precise cause of failure during "testInfo" is unknown atm.
