Bug#884951: glib2.0: FTBFS on sparc64 landau.east.ru: gio/tests/network-address.c:212

[Simon McVittie]

Source: glib2.0
Version: 2.54.2-4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-sparc at lists.debian.org

Some but not all glib2.0 builds on sparc64 fail with:

GLib-GIO:ERROR:../../../../../gio/tests/network-address.c:212:test_resolve_address_gresolver: 'test->valid_resolve' should be FALSE

which means that g_resolver_lookup_by_name() failed for address_tests[2],
which expected to pass (because of the second TRUE):

  /* GResolver accepts this by ignoring the scope ID. This was not
   * intentional, but it's best to not "fix" it at this point.
   */
  { "fe80::42%1",          TRUE,  TRUE,  FALSE },

These failures seem well-correlated with the build happening on landau.
This might be related to the network interfaces or address families that
are (not) configured on this particular buildd, which presumably differs
from all release architecture buildds in some way.
