This is still failing in the latest rebuild test:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-autotest/2008-February/018558.html

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

this is again failing in maverick, see

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

desktop team, the package currently fails to build. please have a look if the test failures are real, or the testsuite needs updates and should be ignored.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

the failing test cases are (all architectures):

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

after discussion with slomo, we skip the testsuite.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

Skipping the entire testsuite seems like an awfully big hammer, when we can use the SKIP mechanism to only skip the tests that are failing. While this means releasing either poorly tested or potentially buggy libcairo-perl, we can at least be sure that most of it works, and ensure we maintain the same level of tests for any potential updates or security fixes post-release.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package libcairo-perl - 1.070-1ubuntu1

---------------
libcairo-perl (1.070-1ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Temporarily deactivate failing tests in the testsuite: newer
    cairo causing test failures that will not be addressed by
    Maverick release (according to slomo the test suite needs to
    be updated). Thanks to Didier Roche for investigating the issue.
