Comment 4 Lukas Javorsky 2026-02-18 10:25:14 UTC
I tried to investigate the issue, but since this package is deprecated and I couldn't find a solution to this problem, I've orphaned it.

Comment 5 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2026-02-18 13:02:13 UTC
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 6 Petr Pisar 2026-02-26 15:50:30 UTC
This fails to build in F45 and F44. It passes in F43. I suspect GCC 16.

Comment 7 Petr Pisar 2026-02-26 15:54:47 UTC
The failure is in basic tests:

It means that /the quick brown fox/ did not match "the quick brown fox".
