Ahhh, OK.

After safely landing in Berlin (from Debian Med sprint in Bukarest) I tried with your hints and the only remaining issue seems to be: t/00.compile.t (Wstat: 3840 Tests: 90 Failed: 15) Failed tests: 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 17-18, 29, 31, 33, 35 41, 45, 47 Non-zero exit status: 15 I wonder how these numbers relate to the tests inside the test file and what might be the recommended procedure: Patching single tests (those 1, 3, 5, ...) or the wimpy way to exclude the whole file. May be there is some hint how these tests might pass but I personally have no idea. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
