OK, that one is surprising and new... A change in extra-cmake-modules which 
breaks the tests if you don't install first. Annoying... Added a patch in my 
queue which should disable it so that will sort out once it's reviewed and 
integrated. Please ignore this failure in the meantime.

That one is a test using widgets, you should not use keyboard and mouse while 
they run, it can make those fail. This one has a bit brittle though and fails 
from time to time but that should be rare.

Do you have it failing often? Note you can run it on its own, just run the 
corresponding binary from the build directory. You would get more information 
on why it fails.

Those are the only two tests using akonadi server and akonaditest, so that 
might be what is missing. Make sure akonaditest is properly installed and the 
knut test resource too.

To get more information on those you can do something like:
make akonadistoragetest-run

This will run just the corresponding test and you will see the output. 
Generally you can just run the binary, but those two are special hence the 
specific make target.

Regards.
