Description Daniela Plascencia 2017-10-27 15:47:53 UTC 
The unit test ensuring a change on LIC_FILES_CHKSUM is mentioned in the commit message, is failing erroneously on production, thus reporting false-positives to the community.
The behaviour I've seen so far is that the variable (LIC_FILES_CHKSUM) is empty on the pre-test and not empty on the test, which will result in a failure due to the test-case logic: if pre-test and test variables are different, the test-case will report a failure. This shouldn't happen as the series doesn't modify such variable at all.

This has happened twice:

We've not seen any test failures for this in a long time. Please reopen if the issue recurs.
