Description Michael Biebl 2016-10-05 19:25:56 UTC 
Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=839849

This is the same issue as #772464.

If the network-manager-vpnc build is run with make -j 4 , it fails
The problem is that test-import-export and test-import-export-glib are run in parallel and they use the same tmp directory which is hard-coded to
#define TMPDIR TEST_BUILDDIR"/conf-tmp"

So there is a race and it's possible that they unlink files from the other running process

We should use something like g_mkdtemp() instead, which ensures we have a unique directory per process.

To reproduce, you need to have --with-libnm-glib, so both test-import-export and test-import-export-glib are enabled. Then run the test-suite with make check -j4
