Ah, sorry about that, I must have forgotten to update my schroot right
before the run.

Great, thanks!
I re-run all the previously failed (~ 900) packages again, this time
with p-p-a 0.17, and got 96 new passes from that:

Indeed, I recently installed chrome (Netflix started in Germany :) ),
and that unfortunately uses that obsolete path. I did the run above
with HOME=/tmp/home, but it still failed.

Yes, it is. I started it without timeout, but got bored after ~ 10
mins of doing and seeing nothing. Does that work for you?

I didn't do that, but I guess you can do the test run for the four
packages yourself easily, and update d-ci-config?

Oh, nice! The adt-run commands aren't exactly the most recommended
ones, but they work. E. g. it should be "-B --unbuilt-tree=." (or
shorter, "-B .//"), as these trees aren't really built usually. These
tests don't have "build-needed", so it doesn't make a difference for
Perl, it's just a bad habit to get into for running other package
tests.
Thanks,
Martin
