I just encountered the following single test failure building on powerpc64le: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- time certutil -K -d /tmp/guix-build-nss-3.99.0.drv-0/nss-3.99/tests_results/security/localhost.1/bigdir -f ../tests.pw ------------- time ---------------------- real 10.32 user 10.25 sys 0.07 10 seconds dbtests.sh: #27: certutil dump keys with explicit default trust flags - FAILED --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- with the summary: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- SUMMARY: ======== NSS variables: -------------- HOST=localhost DOMSUF=localdomain BUILD_OPT= USE_X32= USE_64=1 NSS_CYCLES="" NSS_TESTS="" NSS_SSL_TESTS="crl iopr policy normal_normal" NSS_SSL_RUN="cov auth stapling signed_cert_timestamps scheme" NSS_AIA_PATH= NSS_AIA_HTTP= NSS_AIA_OCSP= IOPR_HOSTADDR_LIST= PKITS_DATA= NSS_DISABLE_HW_AES= NSS_DISABLE_HW_SHA1= NSS_DISABLE_HW_SHA2= NSS_DISABLE_PCLMUL= NSS_DISABLE_AVX= NSS_DISABLE_ARM_NEON= NSS_DISABLE_SSSE3= Tests summary: -------------- Passed: 79016 Failed: 1 Failed with core: 0 ASan failures: 0 Unknown status: 2 TinderboxPrint:Unknown: 2 error: in phase 'check': uncaught exception: %exception #<&invoke-error program: "faketime" arguments: ("2024-01-23" "./nss/tests/all.sh") exit-status: 1 term-signal: #f stop-signal: #f> phase `check' failed after 36124.0 seconds command "faketime" "2024-01-23" "./nss/tests/all.sh" failed with status 1 builder for `/gnu/store/q3cqzzd4fg384lfmk91gd6higsyhs1nq-nss-3.99.0.drv' failed with exit code 1 @ build-failed /gnu/store/q3cqzzd4fg384lfmk91gd6higsyhs1nq-nss-3.99.0.drv - 1 builder for `/gnu/store/q3cqzzd4fg384lfmk91gd6higsyhs1nq-nss-3.99.0.drv' failed with exit code 1 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So I'm not sure why, but the 'certutil dump keys with explicit default trust flags' fails on powerpc64le and should probably be disabled. Also, 36124 s, ouch! #70950 should help for that. -- Thanks, Maxim
