Bug 654992 – net-mail/mailutils-3.4: mu_str_to_c test fails (endianness problem)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Rolf Eike Beer 2018-05-05 18:24:02 UTC]

The error is obviously a big endian problem:

redone patch

Your patch is mangled, so it did not apply. I have redone it, this is the version that I used.

build.log

This is the build log with the patch. I do not have time to look into it deeper right now, maybe later.

From your log:

> Conversions

>  1: mu_str_to_c                                     ok

i.e. big endian error is fixed.  Some other tests are failing but that's a separate issue - bug 648754.  Thanks for testing.
