Hi Ivan and Victor,

Looking at the changelog it seems that 0.5.7 will not change anything, I
will try later though.
I'm afraid there is no VM available. Debian developers have access to
some porter boxes, so I will try to build the package directly on one of
the failing architectures to see if I can get some more details.

Note that the build logs give some more details on the tests output, for
ex in
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libhtp&arch=armhf&ver=0.5.5-1&stamp=1378587543

[ RUN      ] Base64.Single
