I nominated the bug for a SRU for gutsy. Impact: typical impact of FTBFS of the package (end-users, developers, derivatives or security team can't build the package)
Fix: pulled updated tests from a new upstream stable series (from the 1.161 release); the diff is minimal; bug has not been fixed in the development branch (hardy not open at this point); bug has been addressed in Debian by uploading a new upstream release series (1.16x) which is not an option here Reproducing: build the package Potential regression: package might have regressed in unrelated ways to the testsuite failures with new versions of the GNOME libs and the new build might expose more bugs NB: I'm aware of some important fixes in the 1.14x upstream "oldstable" series, such as memory corruption or encoding issues, which I did not make any effort to backport as they did not seem to affect the packages I looked at (libgnome2-perl and debconf) and I'm not aware of any reported bug for them. ** Attachment added: "80_testsuite-fixes.dpatch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10053241/80_testsuite-fixes.dpatch -- gutsy/amd64: ftbfs / autopkgtest failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127985 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
