Subject: Fwd: [core-updates] libaio test fails on powerpc64le-linux due to kernel bug
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2022 00:31:56 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874jxuv1xg.fsf@kolabnow.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 87r12jyzbz.fsf@kolabnow.com
Hello,
I sent the email below as a bug report, but I should probably have sent
it to guix-devel instead.
The gist of it is that libaio on core-updates doesn't build on guixp9
because its testsuite (intentionally) catches a kernel bug.
I can do an “apt-get update && apt-get upgrade” to fix the problem but
since I don't have console access to the VM I'd need someone else to
reboot it just in case it doesn't come back on its own...

Thanks
Thiago
