Local install of GNUN does not detect errors (plus typo in mailfail)

[Dora Scilipoti]

Hello,

I've installed GNUN 1.1 (released Sep 10, 2021) in my computer. I
followed the instructions as per README and INSTALL. All went well,
including the symlinks for both config.mk and GNUmakefile.

To try the validation feature, I intentionally introduced an error in a
po file (I omitted a closing tag </a> in line 34). This is what I get:

~/GNU-Local/www/server/gnun$ make ../../gnu/gnu.es.html
/usr/local/libexec/gnun/validate-html-notify --dry-run bug-gnun@gnu.org
../../gnu/gnu.html
/usr/local/libexec/gnun/mailfail: line 56:
/usr/local/bin/gnun-validate-html: No such file or directory
make: *** [GNUmakefile:1000: ../../gnu/po/gnu.proto] Error 127

ISTR that in old versions of GNUN that command used to exit with a
detailed report of the error. Is this feature not available anymore, or
am I not following the correct procedure?

(There is typo in line 55 of the mailfail file: 'it's' should be 'its'.)

Thank you.
