Package: autogen
Version: 1:5.12-0.1
Usertags: goto-cc

The test suite in autoopts/test/ includes a kind of watchdog for each test,
which supposedly terminates it after 51*kill_delay seconds. usage.test sets
kill_delay to 10 seconds (all others have kill_delay=3), resulting in the
watchdog part waiting for up to 510 seconds, which generally is far longer than
the remaining package build takes.

As a result, files remain open and the package build cannot complete properly
when working in a chroot (and waiting to umount the build directory).

Most likely it suffices to reduce the kill_delay for usage.test, but a proper
implementation would terminate the watchdog whenever the test itself has
ended properly.

Best,
Michael
