[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#903886: dawg: Test suite fails

[Andreas Tille]

Package: dawg
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Hi,

since I activated override_dh_auto_test in d/rules it becomes obvious
that the test provided by upstream is failing.  This is true even for the
previous package version - the test was just not done there.

I tried to discuss the issue in the Debian Med mailing list[1] and
reported the issue upstream[2] with no result so far.  Since I assume
that its packaging wise better to polish the packaging and make the
issue obvious in the log files I've ignored the broken test result and
uploaded anyway.  This bug report is to document the issue in the
package for users.  It is not clear to me whether the code itself is
broken or whether the test itself is just wrong.  Please clarify!

Kind regards

        Andreas.
