Thanks for the report.

Unfortunately, I've not been able to understand the reason of this
failure.  We might need more details for that; so, could you please:

 1. tell us which system you have run the testsuite on;

 2. send us the config.log file generated by configure;

 3. send us the contents of the directory left by the failed test
    (should be `tests/color-p.dir'); note that this should be done
    *before* continuing with the next point, since a re-run of the
    test script will unfortunately remove that directory;

 4. try to re-run the failed test, and tell us whether the failure
    is determinately reproducible, or only happes some times.  You
    can use the following commands to run onlt the failing testcase:

      $ make check TESTS=color-p.test

Regards,
  Stefano

Hi Stefano,

Well, I am a 40+ non-IT old man, please bear with me for my strange 
acts.  I install LFS on a vbox client for self-study purpose.  After I 
submitted the error report, I encountered some very series problem when 
working on the next package.  Problem vanished after reboot, and I got 
me LFS system running now.

Apology for not able to provide items 2, 3, 4 you mentioned.  And I 
believe/guess the color-p.test issue is due to "virtual hardware 
failure".  Sorry again for any inconvenience caused.

Regards,
Savio

I see no stange act here, on the contrary, I appreciate your report and
your prompt answer!  In fact, I believe the automake testsuite is partly
at fault here, since it should suggest the user to send (at least) also
the `configure.log' file with the report.  Maybe we can improve this in
the future ...

That would explain the strangeness of the failure.  I'm then closing
the bug report; feel free to re-open it if you encounter the problem
again in the future.

No inconvenience at all.

Thanks again for your report and your helpfulness,
  Stefano
