In t/Path_root.t -- a test file which runs only when the tester is root -- there is a SKIP block with the following condition:
#####
SKIP: {
skip('Skip until RT 85878 is fixed', 1);
#####
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85878 was marked Resolved on Oct 11 2015. Hence, the stated rationale for one SKIP block in t/Path_root.t no longer pertains.
However, when we remove the SKIP and run the file as root, we get test failures. See attachment. Not yet diagnosed further.
Thank you very much.
