You can't assume an X11 environment, or a network connection, or any such thing.
For the Perl package, I can (and have) disabled the testing for the Debian package. For the python package, it is much more difficult. I thought that xvfb was precisely the tool for this.
But if you just want an easy X11 chroot, and you already have a pbuilder chroot, see: http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/diary/200601.html.en
I'll look at this. Thanks. Carlo -- Carlo U. Segre -- Professor of Physics Associate Dean for Special Projects, Graduate College Illinois Institute of Technology Voice: 312.567.3498 Fax: 312.567.3494 Carlo.Segre@iit.edu http://www.iit.edu/~segre
