That's weird. I cannot reproduce this. It works in Debian (but that could imply some hidden dependency), and I just spawned an alpine:latest Docker image, and it passes there too with what's currently on git HEAD: ,--- /src/dpkg # cat /etc/alpine-release 3.17.0 /src/dpkg # apk --version apk-tools 2.12.10, compiled for x86_64. /src/dpkg # make -C scripts/ check […] ./t/merge_changelogs.t ......... ok ./t/mk.t ....................... ok All tests successful. Files=47, Tests=24295, 11 wallclock secs ( 1.11 usr 0.12 sys + 8.06 cusr 1.34 csys = 10.63 CPU) Result: PASS make[2]: Leaving directory '/src/dpkg/scripts' make[1]: Leaving directory '/src/dpkg/scripts' make: Leaving directory '/src/dpkg/scripts' `--- If you can point a way for me to reproduce, I'm happy to dig further. Thanks, Guillem
