Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in jessie (in a jessie chroot, not a
sid chroot), your package failed to build on i386.

Relevant part (hopefully):
http://aws-logs.debian.net/ftbfs-logs/2014/11/12/oasis_0.4.4-2_jessie-i386.log

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!

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.

thanks

I tried a few things:
- clean jessie amd64 chroot on ec2 -> also fails
- clean sid amd64 chroot on ec2 -> also fails
- build on my laptop's not so up-to-date testing -> builds fine
- upgrade my laptop to latest testing, build again -> builds fine
- quite clean sid amd64 chroot on my laptop -> builds fine

So, there's clearly something very strange happened here. I believe that
the key is to understand this exception stack:

Raised at file "src/oUnitAssert.ml", line 45, characters 8-27
Called from file "test/TestQuickstart.ml", line 155, characters 11-22
Called from file "src/expect.ml", line 322, characters 16-21
Re-raised at file "src/expect.ml", line 327, characters 12-13
Called from file "test/TestQuickstart.ml", line 70, characters 8-233

But I'm too clueless about ocaml to dig further.
Downgrading as it seems unreproducible. Mehdi, you win!
