It wasn't known to me and it didn't fail from the same script, invoked in the same way, using the 20120419 or 20120425 books, or indeed 7.1. Coreutils was one of those packages where it was hard to miss failures in the testsuite.
But now I have to bypass *this* coreutils test failure, it will be a lot easier to ignore new problems - things that end normally are *mostly* nice (postfix's configure script, in the presence of some options it no longer wants or expects, is excepted). So, I can ignore the coreutils test results again :) ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
