+duplicity (0.6.23-1ubuntu4) trusty; urgency=medium
+
+  * debian/patches/skip-flaky-test.patch:
+    - One of the tests is failing on ppc64el because the test relies on
+      guessing how many volumes duplicity will split a bunch of random
+      data into.  But that's an inherently sketchy guess to make.
+      Just disable for now until we can work with upstream on a better
+      fix.
