localhost. However, in the mean time, the alpha buildd has failed the build with the same problem. I think I'm beginning to understand what's going wrong, and that would mean that this is a false negative for the test. Since false negatives are rarely useful, I'm going to make failing the test not a fatal error, until I've come up with a proper fix (which is going to be somewhat less trivial) Thanks, -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
