LFS 7.3 / Chapter 6.27.1 / Page 132 / Error from the Coreutils-8.21 make check

Hi everyone,

Upon entering the code:

Code:
su nobody -s /bin/bash \
   -c "PATH=$PATH make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes check"
It complains of having failed one of the tests.

So I cd'd to the 'tests' folder then typed:

Code:
grep FAIL test-suite.log
and it showed me:

Code:
FAIL: tests/misc/stty-pairs.sh (exit: 1)
I couldn't see this error on the LFS test-log online and I haven't found any feedback on the consequences of ignoring this failure.

Does anyone know if this needs to be addressed?

The above grep only shows that a test failed, have you been able to find out why the test failed?

Have a look in test-suite.log and see if there are any clues.

BTW: I haven't had any problems with coreutils in the past (LFS 7.3 and earlier versions).

I'm getting the same problem with LFS 7.4. I'm actually getting two tests that fail:

FAIL: tests/misc/stty-pairs.sh (exit: 1)
FAIL: tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh (exit: 1)

I tried with and without the provided patch (coreutils-8.21-i18n-1.patch)

Without the patch, in the test-suite.log, the first sign of trouble I see is:

Quote:
+ for opt1 in '$options'
+ for opt2 in '$options'
+ stty parodd parodd
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
+ fail=1
+ stty_reversible_query_ parodd
+ case $stty_reversible_ in
+ return 0
+ stty -parodd parodd
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
+ fail=1

Apologies for the delay in my response.

I've attached the section of the test log which I think should highlight the start of the error. I can paste more if required but it's basically more of the same for a good few pages!

Any help would be appreciated, I'd like to know the root of the problem.

@Drumachine: I just had a quick look in the LFS mailing list and did not see any mention of this specific failed test.

I'll just repeat the advise given on the LFS mailing list when a single tests fails for the coreutils suite: This can happen and can be ignored.

Ah, where exactly did you find this advice? The link at the top of this page: http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/...o/lfs-support/ is broken and the search returns nothing useful for me :S

I've signed up for the lfs-support, lfs-dev and lfs-announce mailing lists (there are more). The info from my previous reply comes from the local mails I've received over time.

Too my knowledge there aren't any workable on-line archives.
