Bug ID: 7666
Summary: Non-standard build/test handling may cause build/test
failures
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.4.2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Building & Packaging

Dockerfile
The attached Dockerfile shows two problems with the current 3.4.2 release, a
build and a test problem.
* the test problem: a possible setup of CPAN Testers smoke machines is to
*test* a distribution without installing it. CPAN.pm normally makes sure that
the dependencies are all available in PERL5LIB, so for a test script it looks
like the dependencies are already installed. However, it seems that the
SpamAssassin test scripts strip out these paths from PERL5LIB, and this leads
to test failures like this:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/b4308f14-f984-11e8-b607-f782ef07057d
More test similar test failures may be seen on
http://fast-matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Mail-SpamAssassin%203.4.2;os=linux;reports=1#sl=6,1
(actually all reports by SREZIC should have the same problem)
* the build problem: if the deactivated CMD line in the attached Dockerfile is
used instead, then the build fails immediately because of missing prereqs. This
is non-standard behavior. A normal CPAN distribution would warn on the missing
prerequisites, but still write the Makefile and also the MYMETA.* files.
CPAN.pm then would inspect either the Makefile or the MYMETA.* files, install
the necessary dependencies, and go on with building and testing.
