Category: Build Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mike Howard (mikeh-id) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: test_shutil fails on NetBSD 2.0 Initial Comment: test_shutil.py fails the test 'test_on_error' when run as root but is ok if run by a mortal user. This is because NetBSD 2.0 thinks it is ok for root to remove files and directories for which he does not have write permission. A mere mortal cannot do these things, so test_shutil passes. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but there probably should be a test to avoid running 'test_on_error' when root is building Python. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1101236&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
