No worries!

Thanks, that was very helpful. (Although the mail didn't reach the
list either this time around, but I least I got it. :)

Ok, this is a known problem, where dpkg uses the system-wide
configuration directory under /etc, where you have fragment config
files that interfere with the test suite. I guess I could filter-out
these specifically from the test output, but I was planning on working
on being able to set arbitrary config dir for dpkg after the release
that happened yesterday, so at that point this should stop being an
issue for this and a bunch of other stuff blocked on it.
Thanks,
