Can you elaborate that? When I think in coverage report broken I think
in "the reports are not being generated", but I see without problem
the link [1]. It is solved yet or you are thinking in other problem?

I have just checked it, and Xvfb is installed on the slave at
fixed.gnome.org (the one you put the link). And the entry on the
Makefile to start the slave is this:

start:
	Xvfb :$(DISPLAY) &
	DISPLAY=:$(DISPLAY) jhbuild bot --start --pidfile=$(PIDFILE) --logfile=$(LOGFILE) &

So it should be using Xvfb.

An extra comment about that:

After a brief talk with Iago, he told me that some time ago he just
copied the scripts includes in the xvfb package, and used it
directly. He made that because he couldn't install properly
Xvfb. Looking at the machine, right now this hand-copied xvfb-run is
placed on the directory "backup", so I suppose that someone else
installed the package and moved that binary.

Just to inform Iago ;)
