Well, I used your input but I still couldn't get the tests to run. They
keep hanging on me, starting with the very first test. I tried
instrumenting the tests to see where it was failing, but that was
inconclusive.
What I did do was install lvm2 without the checks. I then created two
new partitions and was able to run pv{create,remove,display},
vg{create,scan,display}, and lv{create,display,scan,extend).
I was then able to format and mount a logical volume. All looks fine.
The question is how to handle this in the book. I can just say that the
package does not come with an operable test suite and let it go, but
that really doesn't feel satisfactory.
How should this be handled?

All appeared to work without error.
