postgresql-8.2.4-3.fc8 (build/make) tgl redhat com
AFAICT, these two are not actually having a build problem, they are
failing self-tests because of name resolution breakage. mysql is
pretty explicit about it:
mysql-test-run: *** ERROR: can't find IP number for localhost
make: *** [test-ns] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.10114 (%build)
There's not enough info in the postgresql build log to be certain,
but the failure I see there is consistent with the theory that it
couldn't resolve an IP address for "localhost".
I don't mind if you're not running DNS on your build machine, but
you should at least have a localhost entry in /etc/hosts.
