[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#862161: E-MEM produces error in test suite on some architectures (Was: Bug#862161: e-mem FTBFS on armel/armhf/ppc64el: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_test' failed)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Lucian,

I'm a member of the Debian Med team which is a group inside Debian with
the objective to package free software in life sciences and medicine for
official Debian.  Since e-mem belongs to this field I recently packaged
it and now it has received a bug report which occures only on some
architectures (not on amd64 or i386).  I would like to bring this issue
to your attention since it might be that the issue is the consequence of
some deeper problem.

On the other hands we observed similar things as result of some
different floating point representation on these architectures.  While
the diff below shows a single integer difference only it might be
caused by a floating point issue anyway.  It would be interesting to
know what you think about this diff.

Kind regards and thanks for providing e-mem as free software

     Andreas.
