The perl 2.26 binNMU FTBFS on s390x due to a hang running the tests:

FWIW, the package builds fine for me on zelenka in the s390x-sid
chroot.

I suggest a downgrade and a giveback.

Control: severity -1 important
Control: retitle -1 libimage-sane-perl: intermittent FTBFS on s390x: build hangs during tests
Control: unblock 866389 with -1

libimage-sane-perl was given back on s390x and built.
Keeping the bug open in case this bites us again but adjusting the
metadata.

retitle 869318 libimage-sane-perl: FTBFS randomly: build hangs during tests
tags 869318 - unreproducible
thanks

Greetings.

I can reproduce the random nature of this bug on START1-S instances
from Scaleway (amd64). The failure rate is around 25% here.

I've put a bunch of build logs here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/libimage-sane-perl/

(Note: Those logs use eatmydata, but I've also checked that it fails
in a normal way, i.e. without eatmydata).

If you need a test machine to reproduce the randomness, please contact me
privately and I will gladly provide ssh access.

I'm retitling the bug because it is not really architecture specific.
My theory is that it's a race condition which happens easily on
machines with 2 CPUs (and maybe also slower than average).

Note: I know START1-S instances are discontinued but in either case
the bug is in the package, not in the instances. I will try to check
on the new DEV1-S instances (those also have 2 CPUs and 2 GB of RAM).

Thanks.

Control: severity -1 serious
Control: tags -1 sid forky

It now failed 4 times in a row on loong64:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libimage-sane-perl&arch=loong64&ver=5-2%2Bb2&stamp=1784959041&raw=0

Raising the severity back to serious.

Cheers

Changes:
 libimage-sane-perl (5-3) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Team upload.
   * Skip t/81_scanimage-perl.t during build and autopkgtests.
     This test calls `scanimage` and tends to time out. (Closes: #869318)
   * Drop test dependency on sane-utils.
     Needed only for the skipped t/81_scanimage-perl.t.
   * Also skip t/options.t. It tries to access the network.
   * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.7.4.
   * Remove «Rules-Requires-Root: no», which is the current default.
   * Remove «Priority: optional», which is the current default.
