From looking at the output of the failing tests [0] it seems that the
order of the lines in the expected and the real output is different.
As I have no idea what this output is about and if order matters and
if the real or the expected output is correct (or both or none of
them), it's a bit hard to propose any changes.
And skipping tests seems a bit dangerous as long as it is not clear
if the problem is in the tests (because of unrealistic expectations)
or in the code (beause of wrong output formatting).

Cheers,
gregor
