Thanks for the report. This is quite annoying, because there is no easy fix in sight.

[HDembinski]

@ggardet Is there a way for me to get terminal access to an aarch64 machine to debug this? I cannot fix it without more information.

I suspect that this problem occurs on any linux aarch64 platform. We run the iminuit tests on each release on ubuntu aarch64 emulated via qemu, but we skip a lot of tests which require optional extra dependencies like scipy. This test happens to be one of those that we skip, so this issue was probably never discovered.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide remote access to the build machines.
But, you can use qemu to emulate an aarch64 system. On openSUSE Tumbleweed aarch64, you will have the required dependencies available.

[HDembinski]

Ok, I will try that.

@HDembinski I can ask if you can get a Debian guest account with machine access for a limited time to inspect this issue (https://dsa.debian.org/doc/guest-account/). We also have arm64 (search for "porterbox" purpose on https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi). Just drop me an email ([email protected]) if you would be interested.

[ggardet]

Any update on this issue?

[HDembinski]

No update, because I cannot properly test this with my own setup. I am grateful for the friendly offer by @stephanlachnit , but I don't have the time and energy right now to go through the process of learning how to test this on a debian machine.

I could disable the test on linux aarch64 to make the error go away as a workaround.

[HDembinski]

I think this is fixed now in develop. Closing.
