[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#680604: cups: FTBFS on hurd-i386

Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-2
Severity: important

Hi,

currently[1], cups fails to build on hurd-i386, as the test suite does
not pass because of two issues.

The first issue is the fact that the snmp backend dies if it cannot
open an IPv6 socket; however, this can be considered normal on Linux
systems with no IPv6 support in kernel, or on Hurd systems with no
pfinet translator for inet6 sockets.
This has been reported upstream[2] and it has been fixed in the recent
CUPS 1.6rc1 release; hence, the fix is just a backport of r10535.

The second issue is the "Avahi client failed: -1" errors: the patch
tests-ignore-warnings.patch already ignores such messages but for
code -26.
It seems the problem could be due to D-Bus (currently it does not work
correctly on Hurd), although I cannot reproduce it neither when there
is a D-Bus daemon running, neither when it is only installed but not
running, and neither when it is not even installed (as it is supposed
to be on buildds). Anyway, I'm attaching a modified version of
tests-ignore-warnings.patch to ignore also -1 as error; feel free to
skip it if you do not deem it safe enough.
