New submission from Dave Malcolm <dmalc...@redhat.com>:
2.6.6 has an erronenous use of a unittest method that was added in 2.7, but
it's only seen when running as root. More specificially, with this guard:
if posix.getuid() == 0 and hasattr(posix, 'getgroups') and sys.platform !=
'darwin':
[da...@surprise 2.6-clean]$ sudo ./python -m test.test_posix
(snip)
======================================================================
ERROR: test_setgroups (__main__.PosixGroupsTester)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/test/test_posix.py", line 356, in test_setgroups
self.assertListEqual(groups, posix.getgroups())
AttributeError: 'PosixGroupsTester' object has no attribute 'assertListEqual'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 29 tests in 0.020s
FAILED (errors=1)
Seems to have come from r83126. Fix would seem to be to replace the
assertListEqual with AssertEqual. Am attaching a patch.
