Ah ok, that's just the quirks of trying to run two libraries that are the
same SONAME.
We change it upon release, if I remember :)
This problem is very different.

Looking at the Debian-CI output:
48s autopkgtest [21:31:19]: test vmstat: [-----------------------
48s test_no_arguments
48s [1;31mASSERT: [0mvalue line
48s [1;31mshunit2:ERROR [0m test_no_arguments() returned non-zero return
code.

That first line is *important* and I missed it. This isn't a DEJAGNU
failure, this is a Debian autopkgtest failure.

For some reason, something in either Debian-CI or shunit2 is breaking the
18 numbers of vmstat output into lines of 10 and 8.
The output of 11 numbers comes to 81 characters soo.. might be a
coincidence, or not.
The test grep is looking for 18 so it fails.

There is no sane reason for this to occur, I thought it might be buffering
but the way it works is the output is redirected to a file and that is
grepped.

Anyway the identical DEJAGNU test passes, so I'll dumb down the autopkgtest
check to look for a few numbers, not all 18.

Getting back on topic, that was the last thing I personally had to clear
out. Anything else for 4.0.5 that anyone needs?
