bug#73575: Mate fails to build on i686-linux

[Dariqq]

Hi,

The meta-package for the mate-desktop fails to build on i686-linux due 
to test failures in the dependency graph:

- python-werkzeug
- skia
- node


After skipping these tests with --without-tests the mate build passes.

I have not yet looked into the details why some tests are failing.

Had a look at the test failures:


- python-werkzeug:
tests/test_serving.py:  ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection 
refused

Not sure what is causing this. Some other linux distributions disable 
this test (this package has a lot of dependants though)



- skia
../../src/base/SkContainers.cpp:66: fatal error: "assert(capacity >= 0)"


The function that is causing the error looks like this

#+begin_src cpp
size_t SkContainerAllocator::roundUpCapacity(int64_t capacity) const {
     SkASSERT(capacity >= 0);

     // If round will not go above fMaxCapacity return rounded capacity.
     if (capacity < fMaxCapacity - kCapacityMultiple) {
         return SkAlignTo(capacity, kCapacityMultiple);
     }

     return SkToSizeT(fMaxCapacity);
}
#+end_src


In the same file there is another function which calls roundUpCapacity 
which looks like it can overflow because things get castet to int64_t 
after the multiplication which will fail to catch the overflow

#+begin_src cpp
size_t SkContainerAllocator::growthFactorCapacity(int capacity, double 
growthFactor) const {
     SkASSERT(capacity >= 0);
     SkASSERT(growthFactor >= 1.0);
     // Multiply by the growthFactor. Remember this must be done in 
64-bit ints and not
     // size_t because size_t changes.
     const int64_t capacityGrowth = static_cast<int64_t>(capacity * 
growthFactor);

     // Notice that for small values of capacity, rounding up will 
provide most of the growth.
     return this->roundUpCapacity(capacityGrowth);
}
#+end_src




- node:
In tests/parallel/test-fs-utimes-y2K38.js
this is failing:

#+begin_src js
const path = `${tmpdir.path}/test-utimes-precision`;
fs.writeFileSync(path, '');

const Y2K38_mtime = 2 ** 31;
fs.utimesSync(path, Y2K38_mtime, Y2K38_mtime);
#+end_src

with
#+begin_example

This seems to be another overflow/integer too big error as 2**31 -1 works.

Since the python-team merge and the node update python-werkzeug and node 
build without issues.

However there are some new issues in the dependency graph for cantarell 
font:

Test failures in

- python-pandas-2 : TypeError: Cannot cast array data from 
dtype('int64') to dtype('int32') according to the rule 'safe'
- python-pytest-regressions : tests/test_ndarrays_regression.py:140: 
AssertionError

which are both needed by scipy.

Honestly at this point I think it would be easier to just remove 
cantarell font from the default mate package.
