portage log

full emerge log

okay, expect is installed by dev-tcltk/expect, but what package installs the
"runtest" executable?

and the main question is should those packages be appended to DEPEND just for
being able to run the tests? seems a little too much if you ask me.

# which runtest
/usr/bin/runtest
# qfile /usr/bin/runtest
dev-util/dejagnu (/usr/bin/runtest)

fixed in the same version by using make vcheck instead of make check.
fortunately, this target don't need dev-tcltk/expect nor dev-util/dejagnu
installed on your system to actually run the tests.

I chosed to use vcheck because the check target fails on x86 too, but at
zmodem-errors test (lsz -q8 <-> lrz -q --errors 32768).
Strangely enough, after a successfull "ebuild lrzsz-0.12.20-r1.ebuild merge",
running the same test from command line succeeded!

The test script equivalent with zmodem-errors test.

Verified, test phase passed now.
