Usertags: regression
Dear maintainers,
With a recent upload of plplot the autopkgtest of plplot fails in
testing on arm64 when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages
of plplot from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
testing. In tabular form:
pass fail
plplot from testing 5.15.0+dfsg-10
all others from testing from testing
I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. The same error
message is present in older versions, but this time the test actually
fails on it.
Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can
you please investigate the situation and fix it?

Thanks for this bug report, Paul.
This bug is caused by commit d8ce3ed [1], pushed more than a year ago to
the Git repository. In this commit, all examples sources were moved into
the plplot-doc package, which is Arch:all. However, the files under the
examples directory (mainly the Makefiles) are hardcoded for use in a
specific architecture (namely x86_64-linux-gnu).
I am putting Ole Streicher, the author of the commit, in Cc to this
reply.
Reverting the commit would fix the present bug, but will introduce the
bad side effect of making debian/tests/plplot-test fail. This unit test
script has the line:
cp -r /usr/share/doc/plplot-doc/examples/* .
Reverting the commit would scatter back the example file across several
packages and it will be difficult to adjust plplot-test for that.
A "simple" solution would be to create a new package plplot-examples, with
Arch:any, containing the examples/ directory that is currently in
/usr/share/doc/plplot-doc/.
@Ole: would you agree with this change?
Best,
Rafael Laboissière
