Package: src:wml
Version: 2.0.12ds1-1
Severity: minor

wml 2.0.12 with the test suite running at build time, now and then FTBFS
due to always the same test failure. Examples of faild build logs see
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=wml&arch=s390&ver=2.0.12ds1-1&stamp=1323542216
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=wml&arch=s390x&ver=2.0.12ds1-1&stamp=1323542503)

It seems to happen occasionally on the buildds, but way more often with
pbuilder. I needed about 10 pbuilder runs (on amd64) before I got one
that succeeded -- with exactly the same source package, so I suspect
some race condition in the test suite test for wmk.
