Dear maintainers,
Since version 1.24, the autopkgtests for vrms have been failing in Ubuntu,
blocking the new version of the package from propagating to the release,
because the smoke-test test has been changed to not just run vrms but to
also require that vrms gives a clean bill of health to the testbed.
On Ubuntu, the output is:
[...]
running /tmp/autopkgtest.PDNfBd/build.9zS/src/debian/tests/smoke-test
Non-free packages installed on autopkgtest
amd64-microcode Processor microcode firmware for AMD CPUs
fonts-ubuntu-console console version of the Ubuntu Mono font
intel-microcode Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs
Contrib packages installed on autopkgtest
iucode-tool Intel processor microcode tool
3 non-free packages, 0.6% of 504 installed packages.
1 contrib packages, 0.2% of 504 installed packages.
[...]
This is not testing a property of the vrms package, but of the environment
the test is run in, and therefore I don't think this is appropriate in an
autopkgtest.
I've uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu, so vrms will not be held up by
this autopkgtest. Would you consider applying this in Debian as well?
Thanks,
