Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: kuberne...@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:kubernetes
User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package kubernetes

[ Reason ]
The new debian version fixes failing Debian CI autopkgtest tests that were 
recently enabled after coordination with the Debian CI team to run them on 
isolated machines, as these tests require privileged container access and 
dedicated resources. The tests were failing because some commands were sending 
output to stderr, causing the test framework to interpret this as failures. 
This is purely a packaging fix with no functional changes to the kubernetes 
tools themselves.

[ Impact ]
Without this unblock, the kubernetes package will have failing autopkgtest 
tests, which affects the overall quality assurance of the Debian testing suite. 
Users won't be affected, but the package testing infrastructure will continue 
to report false failures.

[ Tests ]
The changes are covered by the Debian CI autopkgtest suite (d/t/kubectl.sh). 
The modifications specifically address test execution issues by:
- Redirecting stderr to stdout for kind export kubeconfig commands 
- Removing -x from set and adding echo for command visibility
- Using --client flag in kubectl version to prevent stderr output

The tests for this new version (1.32.3+ds-2) uploaded to unstable are already 
passing according to the Debian CI 
(https://ci.debian.net/packages/k/kubernetes/testing/amd64/)

[ Risks ]
No risks. The changes only affect Debian packaging test scripts, not the actual 
kubernetes binaries or functionality. The modifications are limited to:
- Shell script output redirection
- Command-line flag adjustments

No user-facing functionality is modified.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
