I tried writing such script and adding it to the build, and use it to reproduce the error in a powerpc porter box (partch.debian.org). But I am unable to reproduce the problem using the git code for 0.8a-4: PATH=`pwd`/debian/oggvideotools/usr/bin:$PATH ./debian/tests/test-oggjoin + cd /tmp/tmp.25t0237HSw + echo info: Running autopkgtest script ./debian/tests/test-oggjoin info: Running autopkgtest script ./debian/tests/test-oggjoin + echo info: Generating Ogg Theora file info: Generating Ogg Theora file + oggSlideshow /usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png creating video stream for picture </usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png> 7.958333 + echo info: Copy Ogg Theora file using oggJoin. info: Copy Ogg Theora file using oggJoin. + oggJoin out.ogv slideshow.ogv + [ -e out.ogv ] + echo success: Ogg Theora file out.ogv created. success: Ogg Theora file out.ogv created. + echo info: test completed successfully info: test completed successfully + at_exit + set +x info: test exiting, removing /tmp/tmp.25t0237HSw Am I testing the wrong thing? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
