test_pack_insufficient_perms test error

[anonymous]

I just checked out the svn repsoitory of bitten, and ran the tests that come with it, and I get the following error:

======================================================================

What operating system and python version are you using?

I'm not seeing this on any of the machines I'm using to build and test Bitten, so I'm not really sure how to reproduce it. Please reopen if you can provide more information.

I am seeing this on FreeBSD 4.11 with Python 2.4.1.

Investigating, reopening by decree of cmlenz.

When you build and test as a normal user this test will work.

When you are root, however, you will get the traceback above.

So I'll just make it skip the test when run as root.

Should be fixed in [278].
