Brian, thank you very much for checking my logs: indeed, unfortunately my system is Arch-based so we can't compare it directly with Debian/rules. Thank you for an idea about /dev/shm , although I would like to clarify that while it *might* be what is failing this particular test - the causes of failure at .out files are different as we could see by the prior 0300/0301/0302 and some future tests (could share more logs if needed). But the external appearance of these errors (Username/Password prompts) is similar to a user and that may indicate some common pattern between the problems, i.e. maybe there is some extra shell precaution needed on some systems (although I'm a bit puzzled why my distro's packager seemingly didn't have such an issue). I am still trying to build with skipping as few tests as possible, at the moment I have to skip the following: t0300 t0301 t0302 t5003 t5411 t5540 t5541 t5550 t5551 t5559 t5563 t5564 (adding them to GIT_SKIP_TESTS one-by-one, maybe there'd be more)
