Re: [GNU Autoconf 2.59] testsuite: 61 63 65 81 103 138 182 failed

[Stepan Kasal]

Hello,

thank you for your bug report.

All seven failures have the same cause: a file list contains the file
"testsuite.log" twice.  It seems that this must be abug in your system
utilities, or in the kernel of your OS.

Please see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-09/msg00027.html
for a better explanation.

The problem is in the following command:
ls -1 | sed '/^at-/d;/^state-/d;/^config\./d' | sort >sort-ls.txt

During the run of the testsuite, this command is executed zillion times.
Apparently, it falied only in less than ten cases.

What happens if you re-run the testsuite?

I think you should report this bug to the vendor of your OS.
It is always better if you have smaller test case, but in this case it
can be difficult to reduce it.  In that case, just post it as it is,
suggesting that the engineers might ask at address@hidden if they
have problems deciphering what's going on.

HTH someone,
        Stepan Kasal
