# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.

This kind of build loop takes out both the builder it was assigned to and eventually the build sequencer itself. Please fix.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

See https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ebug-http/0.31-1/+build/438651 for the build (running since the 24th).
Clicking on the builder link (palmer) it displays these lines over and over:
Please enter your CPAN site: []
 CPAN.pm needs at least one URL where it can fetch CPAN files from.

Can someone please test it ?

I'll upload also to PPA. The module "Test::Expect" is only needed by win32.

Thanks

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

I'm wrong.. this module is required. I need to investigate more... perl is something new for me. Thanks to Fujitsu

Still fails to build on my machine:

It fails on my pbuilder too, but it doesn't fail in buildd machines.

Although the latest debdiff fixes the FTBFS in the bug description I then get:

Apparently the second FTBFS affects pbuilders and not the buildds so I'm uploading it so that we at least have a working package:
