[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1082570: libportal: intermittent FTBFS: Segmentation fault in pytest

[Santiago Vila]

severity 1082570 serious
thanks

Now this is failing 100% of the time at least
on AWS instances of type m7a.large and r7a.large
(having 2 CPUs), and there are also test failures
in reproducible builds:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/libportal.html

and also in Salsa CI:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libportal/-/jobs/6329361

My offer for a VM to reproduce this still holds if you need it.

If you think that the best course of action is to fix the test
please take a look at this bug in giza which looks similar
because the way xvfb-run is used:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1094102

On the other hand, if you are not willing to fix the test,
that's ok, as nobody can force anybody to do anything,
but in such case then please acknowledge that the test
is buggy and disable it, because otherwise you are forcing me
to use nocheck to build the package.

Thanks.
