Not correct. Both packages are in Debian for both Python 2 and 3. We have unittest2 1.1.0-6 and vcr 1.7.3-1 There must be some other build problem going on. >Tell me if I'm wrong but unittests executions are not mandatory by >Debian policy while building a Debian package. Probably not mandatory, but good practice. Sometimes it's not possible to run a package's test suite at build time for various reasons. In those cases, I think it's good practice to write a DEP-8 autopkgtest to at least test the installed package. Cheers, -Barry
