Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of pandoc the autopkgtest of pypandoc fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of pandoc from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular form:

                       pass            fail
pandoc                 from testing    2.17.1.1+~git20230125+ds-1
pypandoc               from testing    1.7.4+ds0-2
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. The failing tests checks that the version of pandoc is lower than the current version.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of pandoc to testing [1]. Of course, pandoc shouldn't just break your autopkgtest (or even worse, your package), but it seems to me that the change in pandoc was intended and your package needs to update to the new situation.

If this is a real problem in your package (and not only in your autopkgtest), the right binary package(s) from pandoc should really add a versioned Breaks on the unfixed version of (one of your) package(s). Note: the Breaks is nice even if the issue is only in the autopkgtest as it helps the migration software to figure out the right versions to combine in the tests.
