    Dear maintainer(s),

    With a recent upload of suitesparse the autopkgtest of octave fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
    suitesparse from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular form:

    pass fail
    suitesparse from testing 1:7.5.1+dfsg-1
    octave from testing 8.4.0-1
    all others from testing from testing

    I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. Normally the
    test only takes a couple of minutes, now it times out after 2:47 hours.
    I'm notifying you already as this is currently also impacting the perl transition via texinfo.

    Currently this regression is blocking the migration of suitesparse to testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and
    reassign the bug to the right package?

    Thanks. This is due to a ABI break in suitesparse. We’re currently
    discussing the best fix with upstream.
