[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

While building GRUB for x86_64-linux on core-updates, the test suite
appears to hang after file_filter_test.

As far as I can see, the test suite is waiting for *something*, not
actually doing any work.

Perhaps I was impatient; on Hydra, the test suite does fail after >1
hour:

I saved the failed build tree to get at this test's log. The full
contents of the log are this line:

Nice.  What does upstream say?  :-)

I'm working on this today; I'll send them a bug report soon.

I'm going to try skipping the tests to see if this GRUB can boot a
system, and I'm also going to try running the tests on the latest commit
from the upstream Git repo.

I believe this is now fixed, by commit
0a2a70539bdf42d59c9be5fcbc88a1c14743303a on core-updates.

The problem turned out to be that GRUB's build system couldn't find
'freetype', because 'pkg-config' was missing from the build environment.
This disabled font generation, as I discovered when I booted into a
core-updates system and found that GRUB was unable to find its font.

After I fixed that problem, I was pleased to find that the test suite
started succeeding again as well :)

I'm closing this bug now.

Oh, good catch!

Looks like ‘core-updates’ is getting close to ready…

Thanks,

Wow, I never would have guessed this was the issue!
