Bug#835534: scoop: FTBFS (test errors: could not start server) on armhf in reproducible builds CI

[Daniel Stender]

Source: scoop
Version: 0.7.1.1-1
Severity: normal
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: ftbfs

Current scoop began to build fail due to test errors on armhf in
reproducible builds CI:

It builds through with sbuild (local build with qemu-debootstrap arch), thought.

I'll get into this soon.

Note: this is another bug than #802318 (scoop: test break in reproducible builds
CI), this in on an AssertionError (tests_stopwatch.TestStopWatch) which appears
sporadically on new packages (no currently, therefore not got into yet).

Best,
