Ah, it took some time but I finally understand the issue. The test-in-the-test is indeed the problem: the whole output of building a test "DZT" module and running its tests is part of the TAP output for the main tests in t/tester.t and t/plugins/testrelease.t. When the DZT module tests are run in verbose mode, they get mixed up with the main TAP. If the DZT module tests just output t/basic.t .. ok that's all fine and doesn't mess up the main TAP. Just about the only way to make the sub-build tests run in verbose mode seems to be invoking make with TEST_VERBOSE=1, because that gets passed to the sub-make via MAKEFLAGS. This happens to be exactly what the newer debhelper does. So it can be triggered with make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 which can be reduced to for instance MAKEFLAGS="TEST_VERBOSE=1" prove t/tester.t Still not sure if we need any other fix than forcing TEST_VERBOSE=0. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
