Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on amd64.


Relevant part (hopefully):
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2023/07/24/python-ase_3.22.1-3_unstable.log

All bugs filed during this archive rebuild are listed at:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=ftbfs-20230724;users=lucas@debian.org
or:

A list of current common problems and possible solutions is available at
http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS . You're welcome to contribute!

If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

Hi Lucas

I'm unable to reproduce this failure locally, also python-ase builds
successfully on reproducible builds [1].

Regards
Graham

Hi Graham,

I just checked again, and can still reproduce this.

Lucas

python-ase 3.24.0-1 is still building successfully on buildd and
the regular reproducibility checks at
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/python-ase.html

Lucas, is your test system still reporting failure with ase 3.24.0?

Hi.

The original build log from Lucas is now removed. Lucas: I wonder if
it would be possible for you to keep those build logs for more time,
or maybe keep them until the issue is solved.

I am able to reproduce this build failure 100% of the time on AWS machines
which incidentally have a single CPU, but I'm unable to determine if
there is a relation at all between failure and number of available
CPUs (correlation != causation).

If that was indeed the root cause, it would be possible
to "import os" and then skipif(os.cpu_count()==1).

If we are unable to determine the root cause, I would consider the test
as flaky and would disable it (in bookworm) without any "if".

As always, I will be more than happy to provide a VM where this
happens all the time to anybody willing to debug it.

Thanks.

Hello.

I can reproduce the failure in bookworm, but not in trixie.
Therefore, I hereby declare the bug as fixed in trixie.

For bookworm, I've just made an upload for proposed-updates,
hopefully in time for the last point release.

The change is merely switching an xfail into a skip, so there is
nothing to lose:

https://salsa.debian.org/debichem-team/python-ase/-/commit/0e482b9f5aa0a047932c3367f4b676f1b6dec9cc

Thanks.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
python-ase, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1042048@bugs.debian.org,
