Hello Jérome,

gap-guava test-suite fails with GAP 4.15 because gap 4.15 cannot find the
binaries. This prevents GAP to migrate to testing.

As far as I understand, the binaries are not dependent on libgap and/or the gap kernel
and the package does not require gap-dev to be installed to build.
Thus they should not be in a gap-kernel specific directory.

Alternatively, If I am mistaken, then instead they need to be linked with
libgap so that the package depend on the right version of libgap.

Cheers,

Hello Bill, thanks to your report.

``Thus they should not be in a gap-kernel specific directory.''

This is correct. However, they are architecture depend. This issue is actually related to issue #1023313.

I am on my way to merge them.

Cheers,
Jerome

Hello Jérome, I have released GAP 4.16.0 and the exact same problem happens.

gap-guava test-suite fails with GAP 4.16 because gap 4.16 cannot find the
binaries. This prevents GAP to migrate to testing.

No need to have the same discussion again.

Cheers,
