Weird, this test went through fine on a VM which I installed from scratch with Debian 8.6 and then upgraded to testing. As this test depends on the 'lie' program, it may well a be a problem in the interaction with that package. For the time being, I am fine with disabling this specific test for Debian testing. I have tagged the github repo with 1.46; have left the test active there. Cheers, Kasper
