Hi all,

  I have been looking a little more closely as to why geary [1]  has
not been promoted to the eoan-release pocket.  It is due to a number
of build test failures for the S390X and ppc64el architectures [2][3].

Working with the geary maintainer [4] and using the upstream git
master [5] there are two remaining issues - a Glib memory exhaustion
issue and webkit crashes.

The maintainer has suggested that to progress this further will need
backtraces for the crashes - somehow invoking gdb from the package
rules - tests and outputting the gdb results to the build log file.

> If you don't have interactive access to one of the build hosts, the easiest

Question- is this possible?  If so - how?  Any examples that anyone can share?

If not - suggestions on the way forward?

TIA
