Need help with atac (kmer): running atac worked in stable, but fails in testing/unstable

[Liubov Chuprikova <chuprikovalv@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I was writing an autopkgtest for kmer [1] and faced a SEGFAULT error while testing one of kmer's binaries — atac in testing/unstable [2].

[1] https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/kmer

[2] https://ci.debian.net/packages/k/kmer/

Notably, that building and testing atac in stable were successful. Moreover, installing an older version of gcc on testing, the one that is used in stable (4:6.3.0-4), eliminates the SEGFAULT.

Could someone with expertise give me a hint on how can be solved this issue?

With regards,

Liubov
