Package: at-spi2-core Version: 2.34.0-3 Severity: minor Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu focal ubuntu-patch
Dear maintainers, In Ubuntu, we are in the process of moving the i386 architecture to a compatibility-only layer on amd64, and therefore we are also moving our autopkgtest infrastructure to test i386 binaries in a cross-environment. This requires changes to some tests so that they are cross-aware and can do the right thing. The at-spi2-core tests currently fail in this environment, because they have a dependency on gedit, which tries to pull in the i386 version of gedit instead of the amd64 version and this is not cross-installable. However it doesn't appear that there is anything in the test case that requires gedit to be of the same architecture (at-spi2-core communicates with gedit over a bus, not in process memory), so we should fix the test so that the amd64 version of gedit can be used. One way to do this would be a multiarch annotation on the gedit package itself. It would not be correct to mark gedit Multi-Arch: foreign, because there are reverse-dependencies of gedit that are plugins; so gedit would at most be Multi-Arch: allowed. However, in that case at-spi2-core would still need to change in that case to specify a test dep on gedit:any instead of gedit; so it's simpler to just change at-spi2-core to depend on gedit:native as in the attached patch. Support for cross-testing in autopkgtest is currently awaiting review at https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/merge_requests/69 and once landed, will still have no effect unless autopkgtest is invoked with a '-a' option. So this change should be safe to land in your package despite this not being upstream in autopkgtest. Thanks for considering, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
