[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#981876: gdpc: flaky autopkgtest on i386

[Étienne Mollier]

Howdy,

Looking up at this gdpc issue, one of the tests is crashing with
a buffer overflow rather consistently on i386 with the md.test
example data on my end; I'm a bit surprised it is only flaky:

	$ /usr/bin/gdpc m 2 d 10 erase xyz 2 3 4 5 md.test
	
	 gdpc version 2.2.5, Copyright (C) 2000 Jonas Frantz
	 gdpc comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details
	 check out the documentation.  This is free software, and
	 you are welcome to redistribute it under all conditions.
	
	*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
	Aborted
	Exit code: 134

I watched the test with the GUI on amd64; that seemed rather
demanding on CPU cycles.  I'm not sure whether the package ever
worked for i386 looking up at's its history, so given the
timing, I would be inclined to vote for a removal on that
architecture.

Kind Regards,
