remote-cksum test failed on Fedora ppc64le

remote-cksum test failed on Fedora 37/rawhide ppc64le. Tests are good on other architectures.

Hello

I don't have a similar system to try to reproduce this on.

Did this fail every time, or was it intermittent?

Was the system under load?

Every time.

Was the system under load?

The system is the builder of Fedora. The ppc64le builders are slower than the x86_64 ones.

I believe the issue is/was intermittent, the test passes in the last builds in koji and in my local builds. Because ppc64le != ppc64el, so the test is actually enabled. See eg. https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/pv/1.6.20/4.fc38/data/logs/ppc64le/build.log

Good catch!

[sharkcz]

But as I said, the test passes, so no need to disable it in the build.

Hello, I'll close this, as I can't reproduce it and it sounds like it is an issue outside of PV.
