Dear maintainer(s),
With a recent upload of openblas the autopkgtests of dolfin, gemma,
openmolcas, and xtensor-blas fail on ppc64el in testing when their
autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of openblas from unstable.
It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular form (for
dolfin):
pass fail
openblas from testing 0.3.30+ds-3
dolfin from testing 2019.2.0~legacy20240219.1c52e83-24
all others from testing from testing
I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.
Currently this regression is blocking the migration of openblas to
testing [1]. Can you please investigate the situation?
Someone pointed me at https://github.com/OpenMathLib/OpenBLAS/pull/5463
which may completely unrelated, but at least include changes for ppc64el.
