Package: pikepdf Version: 4.2.0+dfsg-1 X-Debbugs-CC: q...@debian.org The current version of pikepdf has some failed tests that are preventing qpdf 10.6.1 from transitioning. I just wanted to make you aware of this upstream bug report: https://github.com/pikepdf/pikepdf/issues/303
Short version: qpdf 10.6 fixed a character encoding bug for a few obscure characters. This changed qpdf's response to some calls that were being made in pikepdf's tests. A fix to pikepdf is forthcoming that will adjust the error handling behavior based on a runtime check, but in the meantime, the failures are not actually a regression but are instead tests that are failing because they were relying on incorrect qpdf behavior. I'm hoping a new pikepdf version will come out with this fix soon so just uploading a new pikepdf will unblock the qpdf transition. Since debian maintenance of pikepdf has generally been very responsive, I won't plan on creating another issue about it unless you would like to say something when pikepdf is updated. Thanks!
