[Python-modules-team] Bug#861253: pygame: FTBFS (64-bit BE): BufferProxyLegacyTest.test_write fails

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: pygame
Version: 1.9.1release+dfsg-10+b2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Builds of pygame for 64-bit big-endian architectures (s390x and the
non-release architectures ppc64 and sparc64) failed:

  ERROR: test_write (pygame.tests.bufferproxy_test.BufferProxyLegacyTest)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/<<BUILDDIR>>/pygame-1.9.3+dfsg/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_2.7/build/pygame/tests/bufferproxy_test.py", line 469, in test_write
      bp.write(data[:3], 2)
  IndexError: 'offset' is out of range

All of these architectures encountered additional test-suite errors,
which I've already reported separately (#861249, #861250).

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
