Hi! On almost all Debian platforms the horology test for 8.0.3 fails. Sometimes it works on a platform, sometimes not, I did not yet find a pattern, but most often it fails with something like
*** ./expected/horology.out Sun Jul 11 04:57:20 2004
--- ./results/horology.out Thu Sep 29 20:48:57 2005

However, not even that is entirely consistent; the numbers are always
fine, but the second timezone is sometimes PST, sometimes PDT. Is this
problem known?
In case it matters, packages are configured with
--enable-nls \
--enable-integer-datetimes \
--enable-debug \
--disable-rpath \
--with-tcl \
--with-perl \
--with-python \
--with-pam \
--with-krb5 \
--with-openssl \
--with-gnu-ld \
--with-tclconfig=/usr/lib/tcl$(TCL_VER) \
--with-tkconfig=/usr/lib/tk$(TCL_VER) \
--with-includes=/usr/include/tcl$(TCL_VER):/usr/lib/R/include \
--with-pgport=5432 \
Thanks in advance!
