My solution to this issue:

The issue arises because the tests for GaussianBeams on the RISC-V architecture exceed the acceptable threshold. My solution is to slightly increase the threshold to ensure the tests pass on the RISC-V architecture.The debpatch is in the attachment.Please let me know whether this solution can be accepted.
