[Heinrich Schuchardt]

*aespipe*

The build failure on arm64, ppc64el, s390x can be avoided by disabling 
LTO with DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=optimize=-lto. LP #2019319 needs 
sponsering.


*postfix*

The installation of prerequisite postfix fails during autopkgtests of 
packages like fwlogwatch.

Postfix post installation routine checks that the concatenation of 
hostname and domain does not end with a dot. RFC 1034 defines that fully 
qualified domains end with a dot. So the postfix scripts seems to be 
wrong. LP #2019195 tracks the issue which is worked on by the 
foundations team.


*umockdev*

Autopkgtests fail when trying to delete a missing file.

My patch was merged to upstream:
e3a0383ebd15 ("test: Allow missing .X11-unix/X5 file")

umockdev - 0.17.17-1ubuntu1 (LP #2019122) fixed the issue.


*stress-ng*

Autopkgtest fails on armhf with stack overflow in pthread test. Upstream 
has a bug report for it 
https://github.com/ColinIanKing/stress-ng/issues/283 and a patch 
637662d92865 ("stress-pthread: use 64 bit tid_addr to fix stack 
clobbering on 32 bit platforms").

But other problems on armhf remain.

LP #2019079


*ghdl*

The failure on arm64 was not reproducible in a schroot on an 
arm64-mantic system. As the error occured only for the biggest test file 
added the package to big_packages This fixed the arm64 and ppc64el 
autopkgtests.

The binary packages for architectures armhf, riscv64, s390x do not 
build. At least for armhf, s390x this is intentional according to the 
Debian changelog. So I had the package deleted on these architectures 
(LP #2019091).


*freebayes*

Autopkgtests fail. I identified the addresses in the crash call stack:

0x4c2ae, /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/stdio2.h#79, fprintf , 
__fprintf_chk is meant to through SIGSEGV for stack overflows

0x128f2, src/freebayes.cpp#673, output to ostream of AlleleParser in main()

The observed crashes during autopkgtests are not reproducible locally, 
so I couldn't find a solution for LP #2019219.


*r-cran-dtplyr*

Adding an upstream patch fixes autopkgtests. LP 2018713 is in status 
"fix committed".


*securefs*

The autopkgtest failed due to a missing environment variable when 
testing. Fixed with LP #2018707.


*pywebdav*

A Debian patch causes an autopkgtest failure. My merge request 
https://salsa.debian.org/tryton-team/pywebdav/-/merge_requests/2 was 
accepted.

To fix a build warning when executing tests I created an upstream pull 
request https://github.com/andrewleech/PyWebDAV3/pull/36 which still 
needs review.

The new upstream version of pywebdav still does not pass all tests. I 
created an upstream issue 
https://github.com/andrewleech/PyWebDAV3/issues/37.

LP #2018702
