Description:
Some time ago 5.5.20 was building fine on Debian. On the 22nd of March or possibly a bit earlier a number of tests started to fail. I have not been able to isolate precisely what triggers this. Most of the test failures refer either to failing to run mysqlcheck or SSL issues. If I downgrade the SSL libraries from 1.0.1-2 to 1.0.0h-1 the problem does not go away. If I build in a Wheezy schroot (which currently still has libssl-dev 1.0.0h-1) I still get the issue. I had a machine where it was working but started to fail after I upgraded all the packages to the latest version. The list of failing tests seems to be consistent for a particular build run - but varies slightly between scenarios.
A list of tests that have failed with the likely looking error follows:

How to repeat:
Take the 5.5.20 source tarball. Build including running make test-bt. There may be dependencies on particular versions of related software but I have not identified which.
Suggested fix:
I will be disabling all the failing tests for now.
