Hi,

(CC: Helmut and Santiago because the failure looks similar to ~2 of the
FTBFS one-liners from Santiago on June 9th. Thought it might be
unrelated - this build seems to be based on autotools in case it matters)

The armci-mpi package has an autopkgtest called "test-armci" that fail
due to a compilation error:

https://ci.debian.net/packages/a/armci-mpi/testing/amd64/71972381/#S5

This was triggered after an upload of `debhelper`. I am unsure whether
the debhelper upload caused this problem or just happened to be the
first trigger after the problem occurred elsewhere.

Best regards,
Niels

filing this, which seems to be a fix for this problem.

Best regards,

Thanks Niels for the pointer and thanks Luca for the MR.

Being such a trivial change, I've accepted the MR "as is".

Will make a release this afternoon.

Thanks.

Sorry, I'm actually not confident enough to make an upload yet,
because the "autopkgtest" job in salsa ci (which I have just enabled
for this package) currently fails.

Tested first in my namespace fork (which I keep private), but will
be visible for everybody here in short:

https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/armci-mpi/-/pipelines

Any ideas are welcome (patches emailed to this bug preferred).

Thanks.

Nevermind. I finally found the way for the Salsa CI "autopkgtest" job
to work.

Thanks.
