Bug#836844: eigen3: autopkgtests fail on ppc64el

[Graham Inggs]

Source: eigen3
Version: 3.3~beta2-1
Severity: wishlist


Hi Maintainer

Since eigen3 3.3~beta2-1, its autopkgtests fail on ppc64el in Ubuntu [1].
Tests on other architectures remain successful [2].

I compared passing and failing test results and the only difference I 
can see is the passing test has:

forceMatrix*axisMatrix: -1 -0 -0
-0 -2 -0
-0 -0 -3

while the failing test has:

forceMatrix*axisMatrix: -1  0  0
  0 -2  0
  0  0 -3

This currently prevents the latest versions of eigen3 from migrating to 
Ubuntu Yakkety.
Any ideas, please?  Is it safe to ignore these differences?

Regards
Graham
