| Subject: | On some installations some tests fail, test 43/01 gets stuck in loop |
I am the maintainer for the Debian packages for your module.
In my usual work enviroment, Mail::Box builds cleanly. However, I got this bug report filed against the package:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=306002
The report can be reproduced using Debian's pbuilder - a tool that creates a minimal chroot with only the base packages installed (plus those specified in the package itself). The dependencies your Makefile.PL looks for are all present:
--------------------------
Scalar::Util version 1.13 is ok (required is 1.13)
File::Remove version 0.29 is ok (required is 0.2)
IO::Scalar version 2.110 is ok (required is 0)
Object::Realize::Later version 0.15 is ok (required is 0.14)
File::Spec version 0.87 is ok (required is 0.7)
Time::Zone version 2.22 is ok (required is 0)
User::Identity version 0.90 is ok (required is 0.9)
Digest::HMAC_MD5 version 1.01 is ok (required is 0)
Mail::Address version 1.62 is ok (required is 0)
Errno version 1.09 is ok (required is 0)
Test::Harness version 2.40 is ok (required is 1.38)
URI version 1.35 is ok (required is 1.23)
MIME::Types version 1.15 is ok (required is 1.004)
Date::Parse version 2.27 is ok (required is 0)
Test::More version 0.47 is ok (required is 0.47)
MIME::Base64 version 3.04 is ok (required is 0)
Sys::Hostname version 1.11 is ok (required is 0)
--------------------------
However, the tests fail to run. First, test 40/40 complains that:
--------------------------
40mbox/40append.....ERROR: Package Mail::Box::IMAP4 does not implement Mail::Box::foundIn.
Please warn the author, this shouldn't happen. at ../lib/Mail/Reporter.pm line 196

# Looks like your test died just after 13.
dubious
Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
DIED. FAILED tests 14-32
--------------------------
Shortly afterwards, in test 43/01, I get:
--------------------------
3pop3 -- 4 scripts; Mail::Box::POP3; pop3 folders

--------------------------
And the process just sits there, frozen - AFAICT, the server just waits for a client to talk to it.
