Maybe I was a bit fast. I just read upstream Changelog (

) and saw that the buildd was successful, so I closed the (one) bug.

You mean before woody? Then maybe it was because there was a version
available in testing (1.6.6), but now there is none. Otherwise I don't
know what. Anyway, we should try to ask again. GnuCash ist quite
important, and our problem is at least not a questions of Freeness,
which are really tough to find a consensus sometimes.

Interesting. Now this seems to be a problem with implementations of the
random number generator. Maybe the idea of the test is broken, if it
relies on a random number generator. (Or is the RNG part of gnucash?)
