Possibly related: Licensecheck was broken yesterday after upload of libregexp-pattern-license-perl 3.1.x into unstable, until I got around to releasing an updated licensecheck. Another possible cause is that only --machine and --deb-machine outputs are expected to be reliable (default output is for humans and may change without notice). Also, _additions_ of license and copyright discoveries is not a bug, so a testsuite should ideally check if a match is found rather than if a computed license expression is identical to expectation, and should ideally check if amount of discoveries is _at least_ a certain number rather than exactly some number. If a previous discovery stops getting discovered with a newer licensecheck then it is (highly likely) a regression in licensecheck: Please file a bugreport against licensecheck! > Locally during build and also during autopkgtest this looks slighty > different but not better: One explanation for the difference might be that licensecheck had been updated by then. Another might be that licensecheck output now respects encoding of locale. If tests involve non-ASCII characters then try set locale to "C.UTF-8". (...and that change is possibly broken: testsuite of licensecheck itself worked fine on my own system, but failed in my pbuilder chroot - which caused the the delay in releasing to unstable: I ended up disabling the testsuite temporarily :-/ ) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
