Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in testing (trixie), your package failed
to build on i386.


Relevant part (hopefully):

If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing

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.

The i386 Salsa CI job builds fine too.

That was not the case previously:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/xphyle/-/commits/master

Some unknown change elsewhere fixed the build.

thanks

Hello.

I can reproduce this on amd64, so it's not i386-specific.

Also, I can reproduce it very easily on machines with 1 CPU, but the
original report comes from a machine with 8 cores, so it's not a
single-cpu specific problem either.

I'll forward the bug upstream and will either implement the upstream
fix (if any), or disable the test as flaky.

If somebody wants to debug this anyway, the failure rate is a lot
higher on single-cpu machines, so GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nr_cpus=1" will
probably help. If it does not, you can also ask me privately for a VM
where this happens all the time.

Thanks.

This will not be necessary anymore. Upstream has provided a fix,
which I will upload in short.

Thanks.
