[TYPO3-core] How to run the functional tests locally?

Hi again,

In fact, you were right ;-) I got confused between test instances. Too 
many of them...

After many more errors, I finally got things running. One error in 
particular was in 
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Tests\FunctionalTestCaseBootstrapUtility::tearDownTestDatabase() 
which was complaining about $database not being an object at the point. 
During various tries to get some debug output, I suddenly had a 
different message saying:

UnexpectedValueException: The package "about" depends on 
"typo3/cms/core" which is not present in the system.

in every test.

Removing the "about" package allowed to run all tests with success.

I hope the above error means something to someone.

Cheers
