Most of the results are in:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=haskell-cryptonite&suite=experimental
It's failing in a consistent way on the big-endian architectures:
powerpc, s390x, ppc64, and we'll probably see the same on mips in due
course. If anyone wants to look at the problem, it's easy to find the
relevant part of the code (look at the test names in the log), and
there's not a lot of it. Presumably there's a place in there where
little-endian is assumed.
There are different failures on armhf and kfreebsd-amd64. The failures
are somewhat similar, even though the architectures have little in
common, and 0.6-1 was built successfully on kfreebsd-amd64. Also the
error message says "Use ... to reproduce", suggesting that the test
was random. So it looks like a genuine, architecture-independent bug
that is only sometimes, randomly exposed by the test suite. To test
that theory I'm going to ask for a give-back on those two
architectures.
