[Python-modules-team] Bug#800819: pyfits: Still FTBFS on mips

[Scott Kitterman]

Source: pyfits
Version: 1:3.3-6
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

There's still a test failure on mips, despite everthing building on other
archs now (thanks for fixing those):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nose/case.py", line 197, in runTest
    self.test(*self.arg)
  File "/«PKGBUILDDIR»/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_2.7/build/pyfits/tests/test_image.py", line 1328, in test_compression_with_gzip_column
    assert np.all(comp_hdu.data[0] == arr[0])
AssertionError

This is blocking progress on the python3.5 transition, so I would appreciate
it if you could make it a priority to address.
