Careful, Helen they will hear you :-).

The they in debian in terms of who maintains the packages there is 
generally us; at least thats my take from what I read in 
pkg-firebird-general; and packaging within constrains imposed on you 
ain't easy.

Besides what is wrong with a package name of firebird2_1.5.3 :-).


However, my general aim is to test "my" build, but to do that I wanted 
to run a base test set for reference.

The Ubuntu 2.0.3 firebird looks legit it reports:

$ isql-fb -z
ISQL Version: LI-V2.0.3.12981 Firebird 2.0
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
SQL>


And the actual test ran fine, when I did it by hand.


So I actually suspect some trickery in qmtest. It would be nice to be
able to get in and trace it a little better - bring back DECTest thats
what I say :-).


Cheers - Mark
