[Python-modules-team] Bug#887681: python-tornado: FTBFS on hurd-i386: multiple test suite failures

[Julien Puydt]

Hi,

sorry it took so long to answer.

I can't help but notice that the problems seem to be related to the 
twisted framework ; I had a look and the buildd for python-twisted seems 
happy, so this needs explaining.

Some questions are raised:
(1) is python-tornado using the same python-twisted as was run on the 
buildd (it might have used a broken one, now replaced by a good one -- 
and hence just running the tests again will save the day)

(2) is python-twisted test suite run during the build stage? If it 
isn't, the build might be happy while in fact everything is broken.

(3) is it possible that python-tornado uses python-twisted with specific 
arguments which don't get tested in the rdepends? [unlikely]

Does that help?
