This is true, but without any error report, there is no way anyone can
be sure what exactly the problem is.

That is not what he said, he said that he is unable to test it on
another version, as he only runs -CURRENT. supply some error reports,

databases/gnats is marked as FORBIDDEN due to a security issue.
