Forum: RForum Tests are failing in latest checkout

Hi,

We are trying to use latest RForum codebase that downloaded from darcs
repos (darcs get http://darcs.andreas-s.net/rforum).

We installed latest ferret engine.

There are bunch of unit and functional tests failing. Is this expected
(as in tests are not maintained?) or we are missing something?

Some sample test failures are below. Does anybody have any idea why this
is happening?

Pls help ASAP. :)

Thanks
