Source: xdemorse Version: 3.6.4-1 X-Debbugs-CC: debian...@lists.debian.org, mo...@debian.org Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: regression
Dear maintainer(s),
With a recent upload of xdemorse the autopkgtest of xdemorse fails in
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
xdemorse from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
testing. In tabular form:
pass fail
xdemorse from testing 3.6.4-1
all others from testing from testing
I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. Looking at the
actual test, I wonder how useful it is. There was a discussion somewhere
recently about xvfb and maybe also about ending with "&", but I forgot
the details. It may be that the test can't fail (apart from output to
stderr, which is exactly what's happening here).
Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can
you please investigate the situation and fix it? I think dropping the
test until something more sensible comes up makes sense. At the very
least, it also needs to be tagged as superficial, as documented in the
release policy [2]
