Tests failing on Alpine Linux (x86_64 and ppc64le)

[Roberto Oliveira]

I'm trying to package libtickit on Alpine (see https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/pull/3663) and when running tests it fails with error:

Alpine uses perl-test-harness-utils version 3.41.

This is probably the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/libtickit/+bug/1744933.

[Roberto Oliveira (rgdoliveira)]

I'm not pretty sure they are the same error, in the bug you pointed it seems to fail with a buffer overflow and here is fails with:
"Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output"

[Paul "LeoNerd" Evans (leonerd)]

Unlikely to be related to 1744933, because these are all window-level tests, and that bug relates to the (real) term driver, which wouldn't even be used as the mockterm for these window tests.
