Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-11-21 11:22:07 UTC 
Which version of ocaml, ocaml-ounit do you have installed?
Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-11-21 11:23:07 UTC 
Actually this looks like it's Debian, not Fedora.  If this
happens on another distro then it's basically a packaging bug
in that distro.

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-11-21 12:06:23 UTC 
Asking on https://lists.debian.org/debian-ocaml-maint/ may be your
best bet here, although I don't know if anyone really cares about
Ubuntu.

I'm closing this as it's a packaging bug in Ubuntu and so not something
that we are able to solve.
