[Pkg-swan-devel] Bug#839459: strongswan: FTBFS: Tests failures

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Source: strongswan
Version: 5.5.0-2
Severity: serious
Tags: stretch sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20161001 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[6]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
> make[6]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src/libstrongswan'
> Makefile:2131: recipe for target 'check' failed
> make[5]: *** [check] Error 2
> make[5]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src/libstrongswan'
> Makefile:520: recipe for target 'check-recursive' failed
> make[4]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
> make[4]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src'
> Makefile:580: recipe for target 'check-recursive' failed
> make[3]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
> make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
> Makefile:869: recipe for target 'check' failed
> make[2]: *** [check] Error 2
> make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
> dh_auto_test: make -j1 check VERBOSE=1 returned exit code 2
> debian/rules:210: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_test' failed

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

If the failure looks LSB-related:
similarly to tzdata, lsb-base is not installed in the build chroot.

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.
