Isn't this a sign that ruby-state-machines has broken API, and should gain "Breaks: ruby-state-machines-activemodel (<< 0.5)" or similar before it migrates to testing? If so, then the autopkgtest is doing its job: it has found a bug. If packages in unstable "should go together" then you need to tell apt that, otherwise it will assume that arbitrary partial upgrades are a valid solution. Testing migration uses the same metadata. smcv
