[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#885962: Skip file system specific test (Was: Bug#885962: filesystem specific)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Bernd,

please see below regarding an issue in one test of libsis-base.  Here is the
patch I used to fix the bug inside Debian:

   https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-med/libsis-base-java.git/tree/debian/patches/skip_testGetLinkInfoDirectory.patch

BTW, I have not yet found a new version of jhdf5 so this issue

   https://bugs.debian.org/842815

seems to remain open.  Could you give any time estimation when this
might be fixed?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
