Also, since the error refers to gtksourceview I have version 1.6.1 installed. looks like a bad test. (FEATURES=test) Without tests it runs fine... should be added to the tracker bug for gnome packages that fails with this FEATURE enabled then. (In reply to comment #3) > Without tests it runs fine... > Obviously, if it fails during the test phase and you remove it, it'll be installed flawlessly; the actual question here is: will it work properly? These tests are meant to warrant the right operation of a package, if a package doesn't pass them then you have a very good reason to untrust it (and hence not to install it). Most Gnome packages fail make test. Upstream doesn't seem to care about it, so the gnome herd has generally not cared about it either. (In reply to comment #6) > Most Gnome packages fail make test.

I know this is a long debated topic, but what's the point of running tests if we are to ignore their actual results? 2.16.0 and 2.18.0 pass. 2.14.0 is going away soon, when 2.18 goes stable. |
