Package: diffoscope Version: 117 Severity: serious Justification: autopkgtest failures and runtime failures User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-ubuntu eoan
Dear maintainers,
diffoscope 117 is not migratable to testing because its autopkgtests are
failing, due to runtime errors complaining about a wrong version of the
'file' command:
[...]
=================================== FAILURES ===================================
_________________________ test_text_proper_indentation _________________________
args2 = (), kwargs2 = {}
def inner(*args2, **kwargs2):
if args[0]: # i.e. the condition of the skipif() is True
> return pytest.fail(msg)
E Failed: requires file >= 5.37 (5.35 detected)
(DIFFOSCOPE_TESTS_FAIL_ON_MISSING_TOOLS=1)
args = (True,)
args2 = ()
kwargs2 = {}
msg = ('requires file >= 5.37 (5.35 detected) '
'(DIFFOSCOPE_TESTS_FAIL_ON_MISSING_TOOLS=1)')
tests/utils/tools.py:77: Failed
[...]
(https://ci.debian.net/packages/d/diffoscope/testing/amd64/)
file 5.37 is only present in Debian experimental, and the diffoscope package
declares no dependency on file >= 5.37.
At the very least, it seems this should be a versioned test dep on file (>=
5.37), but perhaps it should also be a versioned runtime dependency. I
haven't looked to see what the impact is of the wrong version of 'file' when
DIFFOSCOPE_TESTS_FAIL_ON_MISSING_TOOLS is not set.
