Bug#692802: RFS: guile-1.6/1.6.8-10.3 [RC][NMU]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Hello mentors

I am seeking a sponsor for NMU of guile-1.6 to fix an RC bug.

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/guile-1.6/guile-1.6_1.6.8-10.3.dsc

The changes are:

guile-1.6 (1.6.8-10.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * relax-guardians-test.diff: Backport upstream changes to stop these
    tests from failing.  Fixes FTBFS on i386, kfreebsd-i386.
    (Closes: #689687)

As detailed on the bug report, the failure of these tests is due to them
being unreliable.  Upstream decided to relax the tests, having them be
unresolved rather than failing.  I have manually confirmed that the
feature they test does work as expected.

Regards
