tags 416016 + patch thanks This package was FTBFSing because part of its test suite involves bringing up an Apache server and running a battery of tests against it - and then Apache is killed, which makes gdb kill the whole process. I modified debian/rules so it executes only those tests which do not require firing Apache.
Patch is attached, NMU is uploaded. -- Gunnar Wolf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF
