No, please don't do that. There are possibilities to avoid that the
whole project's test fails.

If a test fails but should not be reported as failure you can mark it as
'TODO'.

http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.test/test/todo

Test.TODO("Description why the next assertion is a TODO.")
Assert.Ok(False, "Must be true")

This will ensure that the whole project will not fail because of this.
As long as this single test fails, it will be marked as "Todo" in the
summary and as soon as it is fixed it will be marked as "Bonus" until
the line with 'Test.TODO' is being removed.

I tested it on two different machines, but with the same Ubuntu on it
and quite the same packages.

Wow! Lots of work!

Ugh ... I think that is not possible, because I had to change firewall
settings in my networks ... and I won't do that because I hate poking
around in our firewalls.

But: It's an Ubuntu system, so I can give you a list of every package
installed (dpkg --get-selections) so that you can restore it on a
virtual machine if you want.

Yes you're right. I just installed gambas3-gb-inotify, now it looks like
so (only one test fails):

Alles Gute
