In reference to a message from David Mosberger, dated Oct 22: > Is anybody aware of expect/tcl8.4 causing spurious failures on > "unstable" Debian/ia64? I noticed spurious failures occurring with > "make check" in the GCC test-suite and it appears that these failures > go away if I downgrade to "expect" from "stable". That version is > dependent on tcl8.3, so the bug might be either in the "unstable" > version of "expect" or in tcl8.4 (or it might be due to the way the > new packages are built). From what I can tell, the problem is that > "expect" sometimes fails to notice the successful termination of a > subcommand (the compiler, in the case of the GCC test-suite). > > Does this ring any bells?
