Package: gnupg2 Version: 2.2.19-3 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 gnupg2 tests currently fail in this environment, because they declare a test dependency on diffutils, which forces the testbed to try to remove the essential diffutils package in favor of the foreign-arch diffutils:i386, and apt rightly objects. Because diffutils is essential, I think a test dependency doesn't need to be declared, so I have uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu to fix this test failure. However, if you think the diffutils test dependency is necessary, I would suggest declaring this as diffutils:native instead. Note that upstream autopkgtest doesn't currently set DEB_HOST_ARCH so this is a complete no-op in Debian for the moment. 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.
