Hello. I have just received this from the Debian bug system.
I can't reproduce the failure on Debian "testing" (currently using linux-image-2.6.38-2-amd64). I can reproduce it, however, on the same Debian testing system if I use the kernel currently available on "unstable" (linux-image-2.6.39-2-amd64). Does this mean this is a kernel bug? The build log says to report this failure here anyway, hence this report. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniel Schepler <dschep...@gmail.com> To: sub...@bugs.debian.org Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 08:47:10 -0700 Subject: Bug#630902: m4: FTBFS: FAIL: test-readlink Source: m4 Version: 1.4.16-1 Severity: serious >From my pbuilder build log: ... /usr/bin/make check-TESTS make[6]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/m4-1.4.16/tests' make[7]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/m4-1.4.16/tests' [...] PASS: test-printf-frexp PASS: test-printf-frexpl PASS: test-quotearg-simple PASS: test-rawmemchr /bin/bash: line 1: 22209 Aborted EXEEXT='' srcdir='.'
