Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 artkiver]:
 > Since I had a vague recollection from recent mailing list discussion
 that there had been changes to how the buildbots CI runs tests with 2.9;

 CI uses GitHub Actions, not buildbot. The buildbot system is separate.

 With MacPorts 2.9, a simple built-in test phase is added so that something
 can be tested for all ports, even those that don't set `test.run yes`.
 openssh does set `test.run yes` and the test that's failing is clearly
 that one, not the built-in test.

 A few weeks ago, mpbb was updated to
 [changeset:fb0822137dcfb40c5e2a649b4e547aa2c91eac53/mpbb add the
 capability to run tests] and
 [changeset:d3219b762afe61e965be308d1a165f35c944abbd/macports-ports CI was
 changed to use that function]. That commit message says "Only running
 built-in tests for now, since we don't have a good solution for ports that
 may run test commands that take a very long time to complete" which makes
 me think it should not be running tests for openssh, yet apparently it is.
