[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#760054: bzr: FTBFS - tests fail with ordinal not in range(128)

[Michael Tautschnig]

Package: bzr
Version: 2.6.0+bzr6595-5
Severity: serious
Usertags: goto-cc

During a rebuild of all Debian packages in a clean sid chroot (using cowbuilder
and pbuilder) the build failed with the following error.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 28274 tests in 83.658s

FAILED (failures=63, errors=3, known_failure_count=59)
2867 tests skipped
debian/rules:21: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_test' failed
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_test] Error 1


The full build log is attached; please do let me know if the problem is
unreproducible, in which case I shall try to investigate further; it seems,
however, that at least the mips build on the buildds fails with the very same
error.

Best,
Michael
