As you say, it looks flaky (and I see that it is also failing consistently in Ubuntu CI testing - presumably due to different environment). I would prefer not to remove CI completely; even if the testsuite is run in-source it will still detect dependency failures (but I agree that the current version ought to use the installed code). I would propose to do that and skip any of the specific tests found to be flaky. I'll try and do so in the next couple of days. Gordon > > Cheers Jochen
