| test_shutil.py fails the test 'test_on_error' when run as root but is ok if run by a mortal user. This is because NetBSD 2.0 thinks it is ok for root to remove files and directories for which he does not have write permission. A mere mortal cannot do these things, so test_shutil passes. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but there probably should be a test to avoid running 'test_on_error' when root is building Python. | ||
