There's no db4-devel.
I'll remove that. THere isn't one for Fedora, either.

There is for Fedora. Maybe it's time to split out the RedHat
and Debian dependencies in MACHINES.
Perhaps, if the tests would still work, it should accept regexps, filter
‘locale -a’ output with each in turn, as it does now, but sort the
output in the C locale and use the first. Then the calls could be
require_locale '^en_..\.[Uu][Tt][Ff]-*8$'
I see that you committed a suitable temporary fix. I like the regexp
approach if you want to implement that.
Installing packages lynx and links didn't help ‘skipping html checks
because no text browser was found’. I realised they're needed before
build_nmh runs. Re-running build_nmh then allowed those browser-needing
tests to pass.
The test suite did its job.
Thanks, Ralph.
