The test is run at build time and the build logs contains: ``` Testing unreadable-input ------------------------------------------------------------ [33mskipped[m (auditd is not running) Testing simple-pkgconfig as PkgConfig [32mpassed[m ``` If pidof where not available at all, the test code would simply bail slighly before.... so no practical difference. Either way, the test will be skipped - just for different reasons (pidof not available or currently because auditd is not detected as running). I think the bug report can thus simply be closed. Someone might want to make the test not be skipped in the future, but then they could add the needed dependencies at that time. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
