Dear Maintainer, the autopkg test suite fails to run on ppc64el [1]. Currently this issue prevents texlive-* from migrating to testing, although the issue does not seem to be related to the TL upload. Hilmar [1] https://ci.debian.net/packages/s/slepc4py/testing/ppc64el/68194640/
ppc64el seemed to be recently failing over a large number of packages, but it seems to be settled now. I don't know what was causing the instability. slepc4py is now consistently passing on ppc64el so I think we can close this bug.
slepc4py demo tests fail when openblas is used on ppc64el. Likewise this is the cause of the "random" failures reported here. "Random" because slepc4py does not depend on openblas, but allows it as an alternative. Usually debci does not install it (libopenblas-pthreads-dev) for slepc4py tests, but sometimes it does. The problem is being monitored in openblas Bug#1126688
