Package: libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl
Version: 1.05-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source
The libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl package version 1.05-1 fails
to build from source on the mipsel [1] and arm [2] architectures
because some of the tests fail:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Byteswapping is not being done correctly on this system.
Check the MACHINE and BYTESWAPPED definitions in fitsio2.h
Please report this problem to the author at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
make[1]: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl-1.05'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2
This issue has already been reported as #339758 [3] against the cfitsio
package. It was reportedly fixed in cfitsio3 3.006-1, but unfortunately
the fix doesn't seem to work, as libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl is currently
using cfitsio3 and still gets the same error.
I'm Ccing the cfitsio library author, Dr. William Pence
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, as the error message suggests.
Unfortunately I don't have access to an arm or mipsel box myself, so
I can't suggest a fix. I hope somebody else can. The current cfitsio3
version in Debian is 3.006, but the code in fitsio2.h looks the same in
the latest version, 3.02.
I'm also Ccing the #339758 submitter, Rafael Laboissiere
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who provided the patch for this earlier.
If the byteswapping problem makes cfitsio unusable on mipsel and arm,
which seems probable given that a function called fits_create_file()
is apparently affected, then I suppose #339758 should be considered
release-critical against both cfitsio and cfitsio3. I'll leave that
for the cfitsio Debian maintainer, Gopal Narayanan, and the release
team to judge.
Finally, I note that the libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl tests have failed
on mipsel and arm all the time, including the current version in stable
(1.03-1). The errors were just ignored earlier.

This was #397619, fixed in cfitsio3 3.006-1.3. The
libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl package is now built succesfully on all the
supported architectures.
I'm marking this bug as done without any versioning as the real problem
was in another package.
