Bug#888733: hyantesite FTBFS on most architectures: test failures

[Steve Langasek]

Package: hyantesite
Version: 1.3.0-2
Followup-For: Bug #888733
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu bionic ubuntu-patch

Dear maintainers,

Looking into this build failure (which is also reproducible in Ubuntu), I
see that it's a consequence of the packaging changes in -2 causing the
upstream test suite to be run at build for the first time.

If I run dh_auto_test in the previous version of the package, it fails in
the same way.  Thus this is not a regression in the software on these
architectures, only a regression in buildability because the build now
detects that the package is broken.

Attached is a patch that would allow ignoring the test failures on
architectures other than amd64 and armel in the near term, until they are
fixed upstream.

An alternative solution would be to request removal of the broken binaries
from the archive on other architectures, depending on how serious this
breakage is.
