[Python-apps-team] Bug#946178: mercurial: FTBFS on hurd-i386: Testsuite failures

[Paul Sonnenschein]

Source: mercurial
Severity: important
Version: 5.2-1
User: debian-hurd at lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-hurd at lists.debian.org

Hello,

mercurial fails to build from source on hurd-i386 due to five failing
tests.

Of these tests, four fail due to unexpected error numbers.
This should be fixed in mercurial, because error numbers are not
standardized.

The test-http-bad-server.t fails due to an unexpected behaviour of
local sockets in the Hurd. This seems to be a bug in the Hurd itself
(pflocal specifically), being in violation of the POSIX specification
Issue 6 and newer.
This could be fixed by
 * Fixing the Hurd itself
 * Making the test more permissive
 * Blacklisting the test

The attached patch replaces the error number in the offending tests
with a * glob.

Thanks!
