Bug#1121959: cminpack: autopkgtest fails everywhere except amd64: numerical precision deltas?

[Paul Gevers]

Source: cminpack
Version: 1.3.6-4
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: fails-always

Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it fails everywhere 
except on amd64. Looking at the output, it seems that the numerical 
precision that is tested for is too much across architecture boundaries. 
Can you please investigate the situation and fix it? I copied some of 
the output at the bottom of this report.

The release team has announced [1] that failing autopkgtest on amd64 and 
arm64 are considered RC in testing.

More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be
