The Med Team did all the hard work in the past already. There is indeed one ugly "ERROR" showing up when running the build time test. Actually, the "check" target of the Makefile is misleading, because it is intended by the author to be a target to check for availability of build dependencies before building, instead of serving the purpose of running test at build time as usual. Just in case, I patched the Makefile to remove the check on Csh since it is not needed in the Debian release of MUMmer, and also hunted down the few invocations of csh in the Makefiles which were triggering some "csh not found" errors during the build. All this is available in a branch "csh-mig" in the mummer repository on Salsa, which can be merged if think it would be most welcome for the package maintenance. Maybe this issue just needed one more pair of eyeballs, but of course there is always the possibility I completely missed the point.
