On Kubuntu 7.10 (not my choice, this is at work...), "make test" gives:

On the second (and subsequent) run, "make test" succeeds. I tried again
with a fresh copy from the tarball, same effect: failure on 1, success on
2 and following.
I tried reproducing on my Debian box with various weaks of $LANG, but I
couldn't. Can you please try running "./t9600-cvsimport.sh -v -i" and
send us the output of a failing instance. It's not clear which step in
failing test is causing the problem, or if cvsps is giving off any
useful errors.
This is with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, whereas with LANG=C the tests succeed the
first time already. Are tests supposed to be done in C locale only? Do
they reuse data from a previous test run? I didn't notice this with
1.5.6.1.
They should be perfectly repeatable, but I have run into problems in the
past with cruft in my ~/.cvsps directory. However, we should be setting
$HOME properly in t9600 to avoid this, so I'm not sure what the culprit
is.
Sure enough, I can't reproduce it today. I reproduced that effect
several times yesterday, or else I would not have reported anything.
Trying the very same steps today the tests succeed on the first run.
Only differences between yesterday and today are be:
- I installed git 1.5.6.2 now (had 1.5.6.1 before) under $HOME, with
PATH, PERL5LIB, LD_LIBRARY_PATH set accordingly; but tests should pick
up git stuff from the local build dir, right?
- There may have been an automated update to kubuntu meanwhile, but I
don't think so; cvsps is under $HOME anyways, and what else would
matter? Perl version maybe?
So it's WORKSFORME now. Sorry for the noise. Next time I'll not only try
to reproduce (as I did) but wait a day also!
Best
Michael
