Noted (and also your other mails), will work on it as soon as real
work permits.

Ping?


Hi

Just tried packaging libidn-1.33 and found a locale specific error in the
test suite (Which was working fine with my latest build). When running under
strace I get:
[...]
:   37    4387 [main] test-localename 11148 write: 1 = write(2, 0x1004060B9,
1)
183   32    4419 [main] test-localename 11148 write: 3 = write(2,
0xFFFFC9F1, 3)
: assertion '   30    4449 [main] test-localename 11148 write: 13 = write(2,
0x1004060BC, 13)
strcmp (name, "fr_FR.UTF-8") == 0   30    4479 [main] test-localename 11148
write: 33 = write(2, 0x100406168, 33)
' failed
[...]

The source code can be found in the file (after unpacking of
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libidn/libidn-1.33.tar.gz)

 o .../libidn-1.33-1.x86_64/src/libidn-1.33/lib/gltests/test-localename.c

Do you have a self-contained testcase, by any chance?

No, just the testcase from the testsuite in libidn.

Ciao
  Volker
