Dear maintainers,
With tifffile 20170929-1, the autopkgtests have been failing when run on
s390x in Ubuntu:
[...]
autopkgtest [03:01:14]: test python-import: - - - - - - - - - - results - - -
- - - - - - -
python-import FAIL stderr:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tifffile.py:6553: UserWarning: 'module' object
has no attribute 'unpack_ints'
autopkgtest [03:01:14]: test python-import: - - - - - - - - - - stderr - - - -
- - - - - -
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tifffile.py:6553: UserWarning: 'module' object
has no attribute 'unpack_ints'
Functionality might be degraded or be slow.
warnings.warn("%s%s" % (e, warn))
[...]
http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/t/tifffile/bionic/s390x
This is because the module tries to replace a python implementation of
unpack_ints() with an optimized C implementation at runtime, but the C
implementation is only defined for little-endian architectures. Thus the
autopkgtest will currently never pass on big-endian architectures, because
by default a test outputting to stderr is considered a failure.
Under the circumstances, I think it's best to simply allow the test to
output to stderr, therefore I've uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu to
fix this failure there. Please consider including it in Debian as well.
Thanks,
