[Pkg-octave-devel] Fwd: Bug#876777: octave-stk FTBFS on i386: test failure
Hi DOG,
octave-stk has been marked for autoremoval from testing because of the
following test failure on unstable/i386:
Source: octave-stk
Version: 2.4.2-1
Severity: serious

zp = stk_predict (model, xi, zi, xt);
assert (max ((zp.mean - zt) .^ 2) < 1e-3)

make: *** [check-pkg] Error 1
I have been able to reproduce the problem, using cowbuilder, for the
i386 architecture (the problem doesn't seem to exist on amd64).
This problem is not directly in octave-stk. In fact, the problem
happens when sqp calls qp with a matrix that is not sufficiently
positive definite.
Both functions (sqp, qp) are in Octave itself, and the problem is
already known : http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?38875.
How should we deal with this issue to prevent octave-stk-2.4.2-1 from
being removed from testing ?

PS: this test is in ./paramestim/stk_param_init.m
