Configure does emit that line, and the file does exist.

Also note that the vast majority of the tests pass (only 42 of 29311 are
failing), which I don't think would be happening if `Generated.pm` were
actually missing. The problem with `Generated.pm` only seems to be
present in the upgrade script syntax checks in `99-policy.t`.

Most of the remaining failed tests seem to have something to do with
text encoding and plaintext conversion.

I thought that was the issue at first too, but my production instance of
RT is generating the same path and it seems to work fine.

Yes, the server starts correctly and I can access RT just fine.


I also tried starting over from a clean checkout:

     git remote update central
     git reset --hard central/master
     git clean -fdx

     for db in $(mysql <<<"show databases;" | grep rt4); do
         mysql <<<"drop database \`$db\`;"
     done

     autoreconf
     ./configure --with-my-user-group \
         --enable-layout=inplace --enable-developer
     make testdeps
     make initdb

     make test 2>&1 | tee testlog.txt

But that produced identical test results.
