Hello, > Sorry, it still fails to build for me, with the same error message.
In order to help the release of Etch, I've taken a look at this RC-bug. There's an interesting problem here, namely that the test suite uses a callout to an external website. This is not acceptable during a build process: you cannot rely on net access to be available, and it has potential privacy issues. Since the only test uses a network callout, I've disabled the "make test" call in debian/rules, which resolves this bug for me. The installed package works as expected. Thanks, Thijs
