Thanks for the notice.
i386 buildd admins: could you please schedule a retry?
t/op/rand.t contains this:
# This test will fail .1% of the time on a normal system.
[...]
# So, if this test failed on you once, run it a dozen
# times. If it keeps failing, it's likely that your
# rand is bogus. If it keeps passing, it's likely
# that the one failure was bogus. If it's a mix,
# read on to see about how to interpret the tests.
Given the number of times this gets run on the buildds (twice for each
architecture/version pair, which makes ~200 so far for the 5.10 series
in unstable), some bogus failures can well be expected. I see 5.10.0-11.1
failed on powerpc too in the same way.
Not sure if this needs a source fix or not. It's of course possible to
make the test failure non-fatal, but that means real problems with
rand() might go unnoticed.
