[tahoe-dev] problems running some of the tests on archlinux after an update

[Jimmy Tang]

Hi All,

I've just been updating my archlinux install and something may have
broken the tests that the package in the AUR runs

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39137

the package pretty much does what a normal user would do, it fails with this ...


Using /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Finished processing dependencies for allmydata-tahoe==1.8.2
running make_executable
running build
running build_py
running trial

it doesn't even start the tests even though it builds fine. it had
previously worked when I was building it outside of the packaging
system.


Thanks,
Jimmy.
