Hi,

This is because this test relies on the presence of /etc/services when
looking up the “telnet” service by name (which is missing in chroots.)

Possibilities include:

  • patching the test avoid that (for instance, by changing ‘localhost’
    to ‘127.0.0.1’, ‘telnet’ by ‘23’, etc.), unless it would no longer
    make sense;

  • patching the test machinery to skip the test;

  • turning off all the tests, as a last resort, if they are all really
    network-dependent.

Any idea what would be the most relevant approach here?

HTH,
Ludo’.
