Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:


   FAILED  15/25  ebuild-mode-test-time-string (0.000087 sec) at test/ebuild-mode-tests.el:64
   FAILED  ebuild-mode-test-time-string

The failing test is:

  (should (string-equal
           (ebuild-mode-time-string "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" '(33451 44363))
           "2039-06-21 17:11:39"))

Not a problem of ebuild-mode, but of the C library which cannot handle the time 2039-06-21T17:11:39Z.

Function ebuild-mode-time-string and its corresponding test ebuild-mode-test-time-string have been removed:

(Of course, the underlying problem still exists. Closing anyway.)
