I think it would make more sense to I removed the testsuite because the tests fail on most architectures, and I've filed a bug with upstream with the results and intend to work on resolving them, but until they are resolved, there is no sense in keeping the utilities from being available on those architectures that fail. > investigate the error and either remove the package from s390 or fix > the underlying error.

It is known that these architectures which failed these tests, pass the tests that are provided by upstream, in the kernel. There is a high degree of probability that these tests fail, not because of a problem on the architecture, but a problem in the test methodology itself. These tools have been used by these architectures for some time now, and we've worked out all the issues that keep vservers from being usable on this architecture. There is no reason to keep out functionality fixes from these architectures because these tests fail. micah -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFERqWw9n4qXRzy1ioRAlqvAJ96AwH4W0mDd6NppbquAVivxKEHPgCgomO1 ygg10U9WyH2JPGhrpXh4j6o= =HH17 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi It looks like this is a bug in some other package (like bash) that we just go around this way.

Hello, why do remove the testsuite? I think it would make more sense to investigate the error and either remove the package from s390 or fix the underlying error. Right now users might experience that problem on this architecture (and possibly others) without noticing. Testuits are there for a reason. I am neither RM nor a user of S390, so I will not reopen.
