Hi!
Just to give some feedback: Over the weekend I used my old debian build environment to build a debian package for 3.10-6. I ran into the same problem someone else reported, that the deactivation of the RomePlugin did not work. Once I made Pango and Cairo a build requirement I could build the package from front to end. Running all SUnit tests resulted in messages from the vm like:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3985:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2211:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default startSound: snd_pcm_open: No such file or directory
Another thing is that I think that the testcase TimeTest>>#testGeneralInquiries is not deterministic at least on the linux platform. Sometimes it fails sometimes it passes. I guess this is because of comparing two different clocks and rounding towards seconds. Haven't looked further into it, it just made me wonder. The test runs fine on Windows every time (I've tried).
BTW, I did not run into the same UUID problem I had on my ubuntu machine. On Debian the libuuid1 version is 1.41.3 and on Ubuntu it is 1.41.4, but somehow I doubt the problem is related to the version of libuuid. I will see what happens, when I try to install the debian package on my ubuntu machine.
All in all I'm very pleased with the outcome.
I now run a nightly update of the trunk image and run all unit tests after that, creating a log of un-/expected passes, failures and errors. This could be used to see when new (= between updates) unexpected results occur. I dare not to ask if it would be a good idea to send an email to squeak-dev in that case?

This homemade debian vm crashes on the ubuntu system because of the UUID plugin/libuuid1.
