Package: socat Version: 1.7.4.1-3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
The buildd logs show lots of skipped tests, for example: test 43 LISTEN_PF_IP4: pf=4 overrides option -6 on listen... TCP4 not available test 44 LISTEN_PF_IP6: pf=6 overrides option -4 on listen... TCP4 not available These are skipped because the ping utility is not found. Then there is: test 230 UDP4LISTEN_SIGCHLD: test if UDP4-LISTEN child becomes zombie... ./test.sh: line 1908: ps: command not found OK test 231 UDP4RECVFROM_SIGCHLD: test if UDP4-RECVFROM child becomes zombie... ./test.sh: line 1908: ps: command not found OK which is broken, but clearly misses the ps utility. There may be other offenders, but please consider adding iputils-ping and procps to the Build-Deps as a first step. It won't be enough in itself, because this reveals four failing tests: 216 309 310 399, so extending 08-test.sh-fixes.patch will be necessary as well (if fixing the actual problems is unfeasible). -- Thanks, Feri.
