Maybe it was only previously created as part of installing /etc/rpc there 
and the patch is causing that file no longer to be installed?

Thanks.  I've now committed the patch to use gen-libm-test.py to generate 
the ulps table for the manual (which the above referenced patch builds 
on).

My attention has been drawn to a reply at 
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2018/10/msg00059.html> that didn't 
go to libc-alpha.

Carlos, do you agree we have consensus on the Python 3.4 requirement (the 
patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-10/msg00215.html> to add 
that requirement still needs to be reviewed)?

Daniel, any comments?  I believe we have all the other distribution 
responses required for reaching consensus on this issue.

The normal case for tests written using Python is that it runs on the 
build system.  The pretty printers tests are very much an exception 
(they're also an exception in that they use PExpect, rather than the norm 
of being limited to the standad library).

All our builds of current glibc have Python 3.5 available at build time 
(locally built; the Python 3 installation from the OS is 3.4), so are 
unaffected.
