[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1055669: bcftools: test_vcf_merge failures on armhf: Bus error

[Étienne Mollier]

Source: bcftools
Version: 1.18-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: ftbfs
Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/samtools/bcftools/issues/2036

Dear Maintainer,

bcftools currently ftbfs on armhf due to multiple test_vcf_merge
failures with Bus error[1].  I already informed upstream[2].
This bug is mostly to keep track of the issue on Debian side and
eventually comment on possible Debian specific workarounds.

For the context, there are 44 failure looking typically like:

	test_vcf_merge:
		/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/bcftools merge --no-version -Ob --force-samples -0 /tmp/YVqRgiAYOP/merge.a.vcf.gz /tmp/YVqRgiAYOP/merge.b.vcf.gz /tmp/YVqRgiAYOP/merge.c.vcf.gz | /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/bcftools view --no-version | grep -v ^##bcftools_
	
		Non-zero status 1
	
			Failed to read from standard input: unknown file type
			
	
	.. failed ...
