I've
We still have test failures with 5.9-1 and ocaml 4.05.0, as can be seen in https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=approx E.g. from the i386 log: Error: 12:file_sha256sum_tests:1:(file_sha256sum "non-empty"). File "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/_build/oUnit-anon-x86-csail-01#01.log", line 273, characters 1-1: Error: 12:file_sha256sum_tests:1:(file_sha256sum "non-empty") (in the log). Raised at file "src/oUnitAssert.ml", line 45, characters 2-27 Called from file "src/oUnitRunner.ml", line 46, characters 13-26 expected: "0d43abb19c4f6fa228c0e577568a99cc6b3768d3ca0f0700e75377d0e08e8793" but got: "62457ada7c8ccf7dccee0d1e490dfe91d7eef6e29474643f9f7053b45d85c871" This is blocking the ocaml transition, so I may remove approx from testing to unblock the transition.
