Public bug reported: The libsvn-web-perl package is currently FTBFS in raring-proposed. This is a sync of the Debian package libsvn-web-perl version 0.63-1.
The FTBFS consists of three test failures in t/2basic.t, all receiving this error from svn: Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding... Here's the full build log: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/121688829/buildlog_ubuntu-raring-i386 .libsvn-web-perl_0.63-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz Those tests are intentionally trying to save unicode file names, but the buildds apparently don't have UTF-8 encoding set in the environment, so subversion refuses to handle the UTF-8 strings. There's a partial fix for this in the Debian package for 0.63-1, debian/rules sets an override for dh_auto_test, setting the LC_CTYPE environment variable, with: override_dh_auto_test: dh_auto_test -- LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 Unfortunately, this is not sufficient (perhaps it is sufficient on the Debian buildds, but not on the Ubuntu buildds). On Ubuntu, this needs to be changed to: override_dh_auto_test: dh_auto_test -- LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 With this change, all tests pass, and the package builds successfully on Ubuntu raring i386 and amd64. I'll also submit this fix upstream to Debian BTS. (I'll submit a merge proposal for raring-proposed, but I'm open minded about whether it's worth an Ubuntu-versioned package for a one-line change to debian/rules.) ** Affects: libsvn-web-perl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ftbfs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1106378 Title: FTBFS: encoding issue in manual override of dh_auto_test To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsvn-web-perl/+bug/1106378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
