problems with xvfb
Hello All:
There are a couple of packages that I am specifically interested in
(libtk-pod-perl for example), which open an xterm or other X-window during
their tests. In order for these to be able to build in pbuilder
environment where there is no access to a graphics screen, the xvfb
program is used to simulate a frame buffer. In etch, this also required
a Build-Depends on xbase-clients to function.
Recently, the packages in xbase-clients have been split into individual
packages and so the test suites are failing. I am in the process of
figuring out which components of the old xbase-clients were necessary to
have the test succeed but it is tedious. Has anyone run across this? It
would save me a lot of time.
Thanks,
Carlo
