I'm trying to rebuild Ubuntu's libvirt packages to turn on ESX support.

I've downloaded the Ubuntu source package for Lucid (updated Lucid package) dget -u http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libv/libvirt/libvirt_0.7.5-5ubuntu27.11.dsc

I try and re-compile

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--with-esx" fakeroot debian/rules binary

and I get this error, when the unit tests are run:

...

testing with corrupted config: log_level

Skipping test (due to Ubuntu buildd FTBFS): running libvirtd with a valid config file (2 seconds)

FAIL: daemon-conf

PASS: define-dev-segfault

...

====================

1 of 37 tests failed

====================

Anyone gone through this exercise before and would know how to get the packages re-built?
