Perhaps this has already been fixed, but building SVN-20150823 on a
Fedora 21 system (x86_64) I get this unexpected test failure when
building several standard GNU packages for chapter 6:
FAIL: test-update-copyright.sh
The cause is an error in an FSF auxiliary program included in each packages:
build-aux/update-copyright
This small change will fix the test, but has to be applied to each
package individually (chapters 6.31, 6.34, 6.46):
sed -e '/^my \$circle_c_re/s/{}/\\{\\}/' -i build-aux/update-copyright
Of course, you might want to do it a different way. Since it's a common
utility used in various GNU products, and the problem seems to be a
general incompatibility between new/old packages, this may appear in
other packages too.
Yes, I reported this error upstream quite a while ago (July 17). It is
due to the latest version of perl. I am planing on just ignoring the
failure. It's upstream's responsibility to update gnulib passed in each
package to fix the issue.
My fix was slightly simpler:
sed -i 's/copyright{/copyright\\{/' build-aux/update-copyright
