** Description changed: [SRU] [Impact] - The Augeas package cannot be built in Bionic due to several tests not - passing. These tests should not be run because they are not actually - testing Augeas. + The Augeas package cannot be built in Bionic due to a couple of tests + fail (test-rwlock1,test-thread_create). These tests should not be run + because they are not actually testing Augeas. + + On some platforms the GNUlib test suite can be flaky. This disables it, + since errors in the GNUlib test suite are often not important because + the tests can be checking nothing related to the package itself (nothing + pretending to be cross-platformed for glibc is being used by the package + itself but tested because all the gnulib tests are being included). [Test Plan] - Without the fix, you couldn't build the package in Bionic. You can see - the successfully built of the package once the fix is applied in the - following PPA: - - ppa:mirespace/sru-lp-1828074-bionic-augeas-large-http-files + Without the fix, you couldn't build the package in Bionic.
