The test failure might be showing an actual behavior bug. I reported the issue upstream so they can figure out whether the app needs to be fixed or the test needs to be fixed. The test failure on January 1 is a minor issue since that day is a global holiday. It's rare to build or rebuild this package on that day: this FTBFS bug may have existed for more than 8 years. Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
