First, thanks for downloading RHDB 2.0. The community random test will fail sometimes. Rerunning the regression test will probably give a different result. It's in the PostgreSQL community archives as well as the RHDB documentation at the bottom of this page: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/database/RHDB-7.1.3-Manual/install/regress.html The RHDB 2.0 documentation does not contain information on how to rebuild from source so the above link is not present in the RHDB 2.0 Getting Started / Installation Guide. I'm returning this bug with the above explanation. Please respond or close this bug at your earliest convenience. If I don't we don't hear back from you by end of week, I'll assume that it's ok to close this bug. Cheers, Patrick I have been reading the documentation for RHDB 2.0 for the last few days
in order to understand the situation better. Unfortunately, there is a *lot*
I still have to read. I have read the online page you pointed out.
It is still not clear whether this is just "a known issue (ie. not
really a bug at all) in the test program," or whether something is actually
wrong. I have not had a chance to use that computer to re-run the test yet.
Due to the above, I have no opinion whether the bug should be "closed."
Perhaps you can leave it open in case someone else has the time to address
it?
This is a known issue with the PostgreSQL community regression test bucket. Once every X times, the random test will fail. It's not really a bug, but it is a poorly designed test. The RHDB post-installer regression test bucket combines the entire PostgreSQL community test with several RHDB specific ones. The RHDB post-installer checks to see if you failed on that specific test. If it finds a failure, the failure is reported but there should also be some output stating that this failure can be safely ignored. I'm going to close this as NOTABUG and will note the Random test failure on the FAQ at sources.redhat.com/rhdb. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79 [en] (Win98; U) Description of problem: I have just downloaded Red Hat Database 2 and loaded it on Red Hat Linux 7.3 (1.2 GHz Duron processor using the Athlon kernel, with system updates to 2002-10-10) and run the regression test. The following was in the "regression.diff" file: *** /usr/lib/pgsql/test/regress/expected/random.out Thu Jan 6 06:40:54 2000 --- /usr/lib/pgsql/test/regress/results/random.out Sun Dec 8 21:19:56 2002 *************** *** 31,35 **** WHERE random NOT BETWEEN 80 AND 120; random -------- !
