It seems to be a low-level problem with python, and there was a suggestion that certain kernels worked and others didn't. And it sometimes builds, sometimes does not -- when the problem first showed up, it built approximately once out of every three attempts, but the last several attempts have all failed. So it's a complex HPPA-only issue which seems like a lot more trouble to solve than it's worth. > at the moment this issue blocks slepc and life from reaching testing > Should I change the build-depends to petsc 3.0 on hppa ? or are you > planning an upload the next few days ? The best way forward I know of is to make this a non-hppa package, which all of its derivatives would be as well. The problem exists on petsc 3.0 as well, whose hppa version needs to be removed from the archive. I need to take care of one other issue, and should be able to upload this later this week. -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
