hi Marc-- xdotool upstream has changed the test suites as of version 20091231.03 so that they don't hit the particular race condition i think your buildd ran into on debian bug #561217.
but the latest sparc build attempt appears to fail because of some dependency trouble: https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=xdotool&arch=sparc&ver=20091231.03-1&stamp=1262950039&file=log&as=raw So i don't know if xdotool will build on that arch properly or not (that is, if i can close #561217). When it becomes possible to coax a build out of spontini, if you could follow up here, that'd be great. Thanks for running the buildd, and for taking the trouble to report this kind of bug. --dkg
