[debian-mysql] Bug#972055: mariadb-10.5: FTBFS on alpha: test repair_symlink-5543 fails

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Source: mariadb-10.5
Version: 1:10.5.5-3
Forwarded: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-23920
Tags: upstream, confirmed, help, ftbfs
Severity: normal
Justification: source does build, and tests pass when this test is skipped
User: debian-alpha at lists.debian.org
Usertags: alpha

The test repair_symlink-5543 fails, but has been bypassed with an
entry in debian/unstable-tests.alpha in mariadb-10.5 (in Debian) and
reported to upstream, where you can find more details.

This bug is filed mainly to keep track of this exception in Debian builds.

If there are any alpha experts in Debian who could look into this, and
report their findings directly upstream at jira.mariadb.org so that an
improved test (or underlying code fix) can be produced, it would be
appreciated.

If you have a patch:
- Universal fixes are welcome directly upstream at
https://github.com/mariadb/server
- Debian-only fixes are welcome as Merge Requests at
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.5
