Could you give a bit more context? On which branch does this failure happen? If the unit tests of the =E2=80=98acl=E2=80=99 package check the output of = =E2=80=98ls=E2=80=99, then there=E2=80=99s a circular dependency issue between Coreutils and ACL. I w= ould argue that it=E2=80=99s up to Coreutils to test its =E2=80=98ls=E2=80=99 co= mmand, but in the meantime, we could patch ACL to skip its =E2=80=98ls=E2=80=99 test. Is this what you were asking? :-) Ludo=E2=80=99.
