Does a significant portion of the testsuite fail, or only a small part?
Exactly one third of it: the same suite is run once for each of the backends built, namely bdb, hdb, and mdb. The page size issue renders mdb totally non-functional under the newer kernel.
If the latter, is it possible to only disable the affected tests?
Actually, yes. Improved debdiff below; and sorry for not thinking of this myself. (The diff doesn't have as much context as I'd like: the debian/rules addition is just appended to the end of the file.) As before: - built locally on amd64, verified all three test suites were run - built on the powerpc porterbox (partch), verified bdb and hdb test suites were run but not mdb - tested amd64 binaries in a clean wheezy chroot - tested powerpc binaries in a qemu VM running wheezy (all backends) thanks, Ryan
