Bug#652216: [rt.cpan.org #73293] libgssapi-perl: FTBFS: Failed 1/9 test programs. 1/152 subtests failed.

[Florian Schlichting]

I think I've been able to confirm my earlier guess. Running the test in
a squeeze (Debian stable) chroot, I get:


# prove -v inquire_cred.t
inquire_cred.t .. 
1..6
# 
# 
# No error: acquire_cred() failed, maybe because you have to run kinit first.
# Errormessage from your GSSAPI-implementation is: 
# 
# "Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information
# Credentials cache file '/tmp/krb5cc_0' not found
# "
# run kinit to get a TGT and retry this test (just skipping now).
# 
ok 1 # skip This tests only work if user has run kinit succesfully
ok 2 # skip This tests only work if user has run kinit succesfully
ok 3 # skip This tests only work if user has run kinit succesfully
ok 4 # skip This tests only work if user has run kinit succesfully
ok 5 # skip This tests only work if user has run kinit succesfully
ok 6 # skip This tests only work if user has run kinit succesfully
        (in cleanup) oidset has no value.
ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=6,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr  0.00 sys +  0.02 cusr  0.00 csys =  0.04 CPU)
Result: PASS


So really this test should be skipped in the build chroots, and the
error is that that's not happening with current (1.10) MIT Kerberos.
Debian stable / squeeze still has MIT Kerberos version 1.8.3.
