Sure.

You are not doing a VPATH build on your checkout.  This means that this
code in tests.pkits/common.sh:

  if [ -f PKITS_data.tar.bz2 ]; then
    :
  else
      if [ "$pgmname" = "import-all-certs" ]; then
          if [ "$silent" = "yes" ]; then tmp1="Note: "; tmp2='      '
          else tmp1="- ____ "; tmp2="$tmp1"
          fi
          echo "${tmp1}PKITS_data.tar.bz2 is not installed"
          echo "${tmp2}All tests will be skipped (this is not an error)"
      fi
      # Exit code 77 is used by the Makefile for skipping a tests.
      exit 77
  fi
  
detects the presence of PKITS_data.tar.bz in the current directory and
thus does not skip the tests.  That file is not distributed but only
kept in the repo.  Those PKITS tests are quite fragile and I have not
run them for years.  IIRC, we once had an option to explictly enable the
tests but I later changed it to use the presence of the test sdata as a
trigger.

The test are anyway outdated and not fully implemented.


Salam-Shalom,
