Please unblock package node-miller-rabin
Hi all (one more time, sorry)
According to #926720, node-miller-rabin FTBFS randomly. I fixed 2 things
in version 4.0.1-5:
- increase one test timeout because build failed on armhf [1]
- remove one dubious test using patch given by Santiago Vila (#926720)
Reverse dependencies: only node-diffie-hellman which has no reverse
dependencies.
Since nothing is changed in installed code, I think it is no risky to
unblock node-miller-rabin.
Cheers,
Xavier

+Description: fix FTBFS randomly
+ The failure happens randomly. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it does not,
+ so the only recipe to reproduce it is to try many times.
+ AFAIK, this being a primality test, I assume the outcome is either
+ "not prime" or "maybe prime", so the only way to test the test is by
+ giving a known prime and expect "maybe prime" as output.
+ .
+ So: Why is the test calling mr.test with 221, which is not prime? (221 = 13 x 17)
+ .
+ And why this fails randomly? Does the test perform random calculations
+ internally and it's therefore not deterministic? Even in such case I
+ don't see how a non-prime like 221 may help to catch obvious errors in
+ a test suite for a primality test.
