[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#816980: julia: FTBFS in testing

[Santiago Vila]

retitle 816980 julia: FTBFS in testing
thanks

Ok, there seems to be some kind of incompatibility between julia and
eatmydata. My /etc/schroot/chroot.d/stretch file for sbuild was like
this:

[stretch]
type=directory
description=Debian stretch
directory=/chroot/stretch
groups=sbuild
root-groups=sbuild
preserve-environment=true
command-prefix=eatmydata

If I drop the last line, the "Segmentation fault" errors disappear,
but the build still fails:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception running test replcompletions :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: Why should this package be the only one which does not work
with eatmydata? Are there good reasons for the build system to be
incompatible with eatmydata? Could julia be made compatible with
eatmydaya again? I'm building a lot of packages and this is a real
time saver.

Anyway, without eatmydata, the package still FTBFS in testing, so the
bug remains. Please try to reproduce in testing, which is what the
subject of the bug says.

The full build log is attached.

Thanks.
