| Subject: | t/events test fails randomly |
This is on "Fedora Core release 0.94 (Severn)", which is the second test release of what will become the successor of Red Hat Linux 9.
Summary: In "make test", t/events fails randomly because &Events_Calc returns an unsorted list of events and the test expects constant order. Perl's "keys" function returns keys in random order.
Details and example error output at:
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=714#c7
Proposed fix (see patch) would be to sort the returned list of events in &Events_Calc, so it would be safe to expect a constant order in t/events. Alternatively, I could think of doing the sorting in the test.pl code.
