[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#880519: openvswitch: FTBFS on ppc64: tests encounter timeout; two explicitly fail

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: openvswitch
Version: 2.8.1+dfsg1-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
User: debian-powerpc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64

Builds of openvswitch 2.8.1(+dfsg1) for ppc64 (admittedly not a
release architecture) have been failing.  At least in the case of -2
(https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=openvswitch&arch=ppc64&ver=2.8.1%2Bdfsg1-2&stamp=1509544622&raw=0)
the test suite ran into the autobuilder's generous 600-minute timeout,
and two tests explicitly failed:

 15: bfd - bfd decay                                 FAILED (bfd.at:396)
 2362: ovn -- 1 LR with HA distributed router gateway port FAILED (ovn.at:8188)

AFAICT, the test that never completed (presumably due to hanging or
spinning) was

 2356: ovn -- 4 HV, 1 LS, 1 LR, packet test with HA distributed router gateway port ok

I don't have details on the failures because the timeout got in the
way of the usual post-mortem reporting (and retrying), but perhaps you
can reproduce the problem on a porter box.

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
