That might actually explain why Lucas thinks there are so many undetected false positives: You can either run piuparts on all packages in the archive, by blindly testing all packages, for example on a huge cluster. I assume thats what Lucas did and for sure you get a lot more false positives because some depends are buggy. (*) Or, you use the scheduling by piuparts-master and only test packages which have clean depends. That's how piuparts is setup on piatti. (And thats why one currently has to be able to work as piupartsm on piatti...) regards, Holger (*) ie: http://piuparts.debian.org/squeeze/fail/cacao-oj6-jre_6b11-2.log failed, so as cacao-oj6-jre provides "java-runtime, java2-runtime, java5-runtime, java6-runtime" basically no java packages with such depends will be tested.... no tests -> no false positives.
