Description Steve Cossette 2026-10-20 12:25:14 UTC
On s390x, building bup fails on s390x when we get to doing the python tests. When asked in Matrix, Neal Gompa suggested making a ticket and forwarding it to Dan to see if he could figure out why it does fail there, but nowhere else.

Reproducible: Always

Hi Steve,
do you have more info about the failure(s)? Like whether it came with new upstream release (previous were OK), are tests newly run during the build, are all Fedora releases affected, etc. Any details could be helpful.

Do note this is a package that is an unretirement from the early python3 days, so no recent information I'm afraid.

As far as the other releases go, unfortunately no because if something doesn't build in rawhide, I can't build it for other releases. But I'm trying a test build in copr right now to see what it looks like in other branches: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/farchord/s390x-test/builds/

Comment 4 Dan Horák 2026-10-20 12:53:15 UTC
OK

for the record, there is a public Fedora s390x system for development/debugging listed at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Machine_Resources_For_Package_Maintainers if you want to look closer

Comment 5 Dan Horák 2026-10-20 12:54:47 UTC
interesting, I get a successful build (with tests enabled) on F-44

Comment 6 Steve Cossette 2026-10-20 12:57:25 UTC
How do you build to those custom workers though?

Comment 7 Dan Horák 2026-10-20 14:28:59 UTC
If you mean the "test systems", then you get a shell access (with sudo), so you can do local debugging, run "fedpkg local" or "fedpkg mockbuild", etc.

Comment 8 Dan Horák 2026-10-20 15:01:07 UTC
There seem to be some randomness in the test results or some dependency on the runtime environment :-(

Comment 9 Dan Horák 2026-10-20 15:23:31 UTC
Now I am getting test failures also on F-44, so it's rather flaky tests than a Python issue ...

Comment 10 Steve Cossette 2026-10-20 23:17:02 UTC
Huh...
