Well, I decided I need OpenOffice from buildfarm, so I commented out
gnash from build list, fell asleep, and uncommented it in the morning.
Let's assume that anyone who were in need of any package would ask on ML..

Not only that, but removing DejaGNU from its dependencies too.

1. That is the same derivation.
2. That fails on my notebook (NixOS) in exactly the same way as on
buildfarm.

Could you please rebuild DejaGNU (by uninstalling and installing again)?
And attach the log.. I posted relevant log lines, I can send entire log
or even a tarball of build failure.. What kernel do you use?
