  • help needed with LibreOffice Java bridge on s390x/ppc64el

    From Rene Engelhard@21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 29 11:20:01 2023
    Hi,

    since LibreOffice 7.6 (which added some more tests which were manual
    before to the automatic set) the testtools' bridge test fails:

    https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libreoffice&arch=s390x&ver=4%3A7.6.2-3&stamp=1698170938&raw=0


    See the discussion upstream in https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-September/thread.html: "new bridgetest failures in 7.6 on ppc64le "

    (while mentioning ppc64el initially s390x is affected, too)

    and continued in October


    https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-October/thread.html

    especially https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-October/091058.html
    and

    https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-October/091059.html


    after which unfortunately noting important happened. (And I don't see a
    patch either at Fedora git nor submitted upstream to fix this.)

    This is probably architecture-specific since the other architectures
    *do* work (except ppc64el and (probably) armhf).


    Before gcc 13.2.0-6 this failed even without Java, but after this it's 
    the same situation as for ppc64el [1].


    Can you have a look at it, too?

    (The workaround would be --without-java which I verified to work on
    zelenka (see aboe), but this opens a can of worms. Not only disabling
    some (built-in) features like the Report Builder but especially since
    there is Java-based extensions (_all!) which then get into trouble dependency-wise/LO will be blocked from migrating to testing maybe...)

    Regards,

    Rene

    Since I didn't get *ANY* answer I needed to do that now. It's live now
    in sid.

    It now also makes natbrailles autopkgtest fail[1] since that one of
    course wants ure-java which is Out-of-sync and probably should be
    decrufted somewhen:

    $ rmadison -s unstable ure-java
    ure-java | 4:7.5.9~rc1-1 | unstable | armhf, ppc64el, s390x
    ure-java | 4:7.6.4~rc1-1 | unstable | amd64, arm64, armel, i386
