If the test succeeds, is the overall build then successful? Is that the
cause of the amd64 build failure on the autobuild systems?
If so, then cannot this problem be temporarily fixed by ignoring the
test result on amd64, also? If it's acceptable to not run the test at
all on 32-bit architectures, and to ignore the result on 64-bit BE
architectures, then it cannot really be that important for 64-bit LE
architectures.
By temporarily ignoring the test result, the immediate problem can be
solved: Inkscape v1.1 is not currently available for amd64 and other
64-bit LE systems. Having temporarily disabled this test, the actual
cause of the failure can then be investigated at anybody's convenience,
without further delaying the availability of the Inkscape distribution
package.
Inkscape v1.0.2 is REALLY buggy. This needs to be fixed soon.
