Did you wrote it on IRC somewhere where I should have noticed? In that case I missed it or I didn't notice the connection. > Though, looks like Adam Conrad figured it out but didn't bother > notifying us… That happened with more Ubuntu delta's. I assume that will be better now we are *using* autopkgtests in Debian. > OTOH, I'm bothered if a missing test-depends causes a stall like that, > so I'd rather see somebody investigate the test script and figure why it > doesn't just error out. That is basically the real bug then. So, glad I filed this bug. If this isn't obvious to figure out, I suggest to clone this bug and fix the missing dependency such that this bug can be closed (see below). >> I will blacklist devscripts on ci.debian.net for now. > > Thanks, guess you'll unblacklist it once this bug is closed? Obviously, although typically I wait until the package has migrated to testing (to avoid the timeouts there). I want test cases that can be used. Blacklisted tests aren't of any use ;). Paul
