--- Begin Message ---Package: perl Version: 5.24.0-1 Severity: important Hello, The following testsuite failure on hurd-i386: dist/constant/t/constant ...................................... # Failed test at t/constant.t line 99. # '1' # > # '6' # Looks like you failed 1 test of 109. FAILED at test 31 is actually a bug in the test: use constant E2BIG => $! = 7; cmp_ok E2BIG, '==', 7; # This is something like "Arg list too long", but the actual message # text may vary, so we can't test much better than this. cmp_ok length(E2BIG), '>', 6; This hardcodes that E2BIG is supposed to be 7, but nothing asserts that in C and POSIX, and hurd-i386 happens to be using other values, and thus the test fails, but that's not a bug in hurd-i386.

It is apparent based on the upstream discussion at <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=128319> that we misunderstood the intent of the test; there is in fact no bug here. Dominic.
