Does that mean that the test data (in directories under ./t but not containing *.t files) are not present? There is likely a URL that would let me inspect the contents of the package under test, but I didn't spot it in the logs. > You can find the setup details for Debian in > http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/autopkgtest.html#SETUP Wow, that's elegant once it's working but not something I'm going to do in an idle 20 minutes before dinner. > You may need to adapt them a bit to run autopkgtest locally for > Ubuntu, but I think it should work fine to reproduce the fail. > The --shell-fail option for autopkgtest should help with the > debugging of this issue. Since seemingly _all_ tests that actually do any file inspection are failing, I'm suspecting that our test data is somehow unavailable to the test? I note the packagers have patched the Makefile.PL to run the standalone tests against the library edition, since standalone edition is not distributed -- unclear to me if that was a Debian decision or Ubuntu? Perhaps the patch needs re-tweaking to work in latest autopkgtest environment ? But that more perplexing, I note that in comment #4, Gregor (gregoa) said the same package passes the same test upstream on Sid. https://ci.debian.net/packages/a/ack/unstable/amd64/ If the package passes on Sid, is the problem isolated into Ubuntu re-packaging of either ack or autopkgtest ? -- Bill Ricker bill.n1...@gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux aka bric...@theperlshop.com -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1707979 Title: No ack or ack-grep in artful.
