[Pkg-octave-devel] Tests failing in octave3.1 autobuilds

[Rafael Laboissiere]

The situation of the octave3.1 in experimental does not look very bright,
according to the build logs [1].  On some architectures, the compilation is
successful but some tests fail.  Fortunately, this is just experimental.
However, if this is going to become octave3.2, then we will be in trouble.

The failures are:

* i386 (3.1.54-2)
  http://experimental.debian.net/fetch.php?&pkg=octave3.1&ver=3.1.54-2&arch=i386&stamp=1237517762&file=log&as=raw
