The build failed in the testsuite with: Running test: keepalive1... NetworkError: Couldn't connect (context: remote:tcp(127.0.0.1:1239)) (No child processes) That looks like fork() failed because all pids were in use at the time, and I've not seen this error before (and the relevant code hasn't changed recently), so can we retry it: gb xapian-core_1.0.19-1 . hppa Cheers, Olly
