Source: dbus Version: 1.11.16+really1.10.22 Severity: normal (X-Debbugs-Cc to debian-bsd)
I recently enabled build-time tests for dbus, after fixing the home directory issue that had previously meant they failed on all Debian buildds. Unfortunately this led to build failures on kfreebsd-*. Because it's reasonably clear that nobody with an interest in FreeBSD is currently contributing to dbus, and the test results indicate that dbus does basically work, I'm going to ignore the test failures on !linux for the moment. On the kfreebsd porterboxes fala and fischer, this is easy to reproduce by building dbus, then running: make VERBOSE=1 -C debian/build-debug -k check The bug I'm describing in this bug report manifests as a failure of the test case test-bus.sh. The log in debian/build-debug/test/test-bus.log says: > Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.DBus.TestSuiteEchoService': timed > out > Did not expect error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut Unfortunately test-bus is a bit of a minefield: it's part of the old unit tests, from before I started to add more focused test coverage. I believe this failure is in an area where we spam a particular operation (in this case repeatedly activating an activatable service) while making increasingly many malloc() calls appear to fail (simulating an OOM condition). Any help with debugging and fixing this would be appreciated. S
