That's not unexpected since debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-skip is an (optional) configuration file for the autopkgtest-pkg-perl framework and is not related to building the package. If you want to use the same list of tests to skip during build, you can do something like https://sources.debian.net/src/libipc-sharelite-perl/0.17-4/debian/rules As for the https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-med/gbrowse.git/tree/debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-skip file: It looks like you forgot the "t/" directory prefix for the test file names. > Could anybody with better > Perl skills than me please have a look at the failed build time tests? I migt be able to try a build later today.
