Thanks. I had forgotten most of that. When acl was in BLFS, I only built it a couple of times (testing the BLFS releases) and I didn't bother with the tests. I'm not sure if I even needed to build it, or whether it was just an optional dependency I pulled in to try to get maximum package coverage. With LFS I try to run all the tests. Mostly, the results themselves are not important. But changes to the results can indicate possible problems. I suppose I'll have to make myself a note that _I_ should expect these tests to fail. But for most of my own builds I definitely will not be building acl. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
