Bug#839365: libgweather: FTBFS: dh_auto_test: make -j1 check VERBOSE=1 returned exit code 2

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Source: libgweather
Version: 3.20.3-1
Severity: serious
Tags: stretch sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20160930 qa-ftbfs
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):
> make[3]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/data'
> make[3]: Nothing to be done for 'check-am'.
> make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/data'
> xmllint --valid --path "." --noout ./Locations.xml
> ./check-timezones.sh ./Locations.xml
> Invalid timezones in ./Locations.xml: Asia/Rangoon
> Makefile:827: recipe for target 'check' failed
> make[2]: *** [check] Error 1
> make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/data'
> Makefile:511: recipe for target 'check-recursive' failed
> make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
> make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
> dh_auto_test: make -j1 check VERBOSE=1 returned exit code 2

If the failure looks somehow time/timezone related:
Note that this rebuild was performed without the 'tzdata' package
installed in the chroot. tzdata used be (transitively) part of
build-essential, but it no longer is. If this package requires it to
build, it should be added to build-depends. For the release team's
opinion on this, see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=836940#185

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
