[Pkg-crosswire-devel] [Pkg-crosswire-commits] [bibletime] 01/01: debian/rules: override_dh_auto_test because the test rely on a display which is not there

[Teus Benschop]

Hi Roberto,

Ah, that is helpful information, thank you for the pointer to use a dummy
display with the help of xvfb. I'll look into that soon to see whether that
would help. Yes, I agree that it's better to not override things, and xvfb
if it helps would be great.

Regards, Teus
