Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it fails since around
November 2023 on ppc64el because it times out. Can you please
investigate the situation and fix it? I copied some of the output at the
bottom of this report.

The release team has announced [1] that failing autopkgtest on amd64 and
arm64 are considered RC in testing.

Because it times out where a successful run took only minutes, I have
added coyote to the ci.d.n reject_list for ppc64el and will remove it
when this bug is closed.

More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be
found on

Hi,

This is a known bug on the interpreter package, gnudatalanguage, and it
remains unfixed upstream since quite a while. I have now idea how to fix
it myself. The bug is already files under #976912. I fact, it is a
duplicate, but I will keep it in the coyote package as a reminder

However, it (so far) affects only the ppc64el architecture; on other
Debian architectures it works well and the coyote package is useful.
That's why I am lowering the severity.

Best,

Ole

thanks

Have the ppc64el porters been warned about this issue? (I couldn't spot
it on their list).
