Re: pspp removed from Debian

[John Darrington]

[ Moving this discussion to the pspp-dev.org since this is a development issue, 
not a user issue]

This actually suggests a small bug either in PSPP or the test.  I will look at 
it shortly.

     Hi, 
     
     i tried the debian package (based on 0.8.3) on sid with pbuilder and all 
tests pass, except test number 1039 (pspp.t). 
     Within that test the ?Basic reader test? fails. The test fails because 
there is a mismatch between the output file ?out.txt? and 
     the expected file contents. I think there is a difference in the value 
labels output.  See the differences below. 
     The difference is the order of the output. Maybe somebody could say if 
this is a real difference or just a test problem.

     The relevant code snippet is:
     ======== from Pspp.t ===============
         print MYFILE "Variable $v is \"$name\", label is \"$label\"\n";
         
         my $vl = $var->get_value_labels ();
     
         print MYFILE "Value Labels:\n";
         print MYFILE "$_ => $vl->{$_}\n" for keys %$vl;
     
     ======== Expected Result from pspp.t ============
     ok (compare ("$tempdir/out.txt", <<EOF), "Basic reader operation");
     Variable 0 is "string", label is "A Short String Variable"
     Value Labels:
     3333     => threes
     1111     => ones
     2222     => twos
