Hi Lucas, I guess the regression failure for postgresql here
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=863928 and for pspp here https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=850457 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=863933 which also fails when starting the psql server has probably the same reason in the build environment. The error message in pspp indicates a problem with the locale settings. I could switch off the check of stderr in that specific test case as John proposed which will make pspp pass again. Maybe some investigation if this is related to the build system would be more advisable. Christoph cannot reproduce the postgresql regression failure on his build system. I cannot reproduce the pspp failure on my build system. Note that Santiago found the problem as a random failure in stretch. He put several buildlogs here: https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/pspp/ Lucas found the problem on stretch for i386 to be reproducable. As Christoph already asked: Could you maybe check the locale settings on your build system? Regards Friedrich
