bug#11924: t/aclocal7.sh fails after updating from 1.12.1 to 1.12.2

2012-07-12 Thread Peter Simons
Hi,

we have recently updated from Automake 1.12.1 to 1.12.2 in the NixOS Linux
distribution. That change caused a unit test failure in t/aclocal7.sh. The
complete build log is available here:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2786726

Unfortunately, the log shows very little information about the nature of that
test. It just says:

  FAIL: t/aclocal7.sh

Could someone help me out understanding exactly why that test failed and --
more importantly -- how to fix it?

Take care,
Peter

on NixOS, those tests are usually run automatically by a build daemon.
The sandbox used for the build isn't available anymore once the build
has terminated. Generally speaking, I don't see anything that wasn't
written to stdout or stderr. Anyway, it's good to know where those logs
are nonetheless; thank you for the pointer.

Take care,
Peter

this is good advice, thank you very much!
