Package: libipc-system-simple-perl Version: 1.25-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: ftbfs locale X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org
This package fails to build in some locales (at least fr_CH.UTF-8): # Failed test 'Permission denied on non-exe' # at t/05_multi_capture.t line 79. # '"not_an_exe.txt" failed to start: "Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type" at t/05_multi_capture.t line 76. # ' # doesn't match '(?^:Permission denied|No such file|The system cannot find the file specified)' # Looks like you failed 1 test of 14. See https://reproducible.debian.net/logs/unstable/amd64/libipc-system-simple-perl_1.25-2.build2.log.gz As this is an "author test" that we deliberately activate with TEST_AUTHOR=1, I don't think we should patch the test or push a fix upstream. Instead, I think setting LC_ALL=C for the build in debian/rules is good enough to fix this. Trivial patch attached, will upload myself. Filing this to document the issue. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
