Hello, we have a package, r-cran-dplyr, that runs the upstream test suite as part of its autopkgtests. Unfortunately it fails when it tries to set the en_US locale to test support of non-UTF locales; maybe it is not available in the default environment of debci? Do people know a way to make en_US available in that context?
https://ci.debian.net/packages/r/r-cran-dplyr/unstable/amd64/53464906/ https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1072630 More details follow. On line 325 of the package's `tests/testthat/test-arrange.R` there is: skip_if_not(has_collate_locale("en_US"), message = "Can't use 'en_US' locale") This leads to the emission of the warning "Can't use 'en_US' locale", which causes autopkgtest to fail. I am aware of two possible solutions that I would like to avoid: 1) Patch the test suite so that it does not run that test. 2) Allow autopkgtest to ignore warnings. Both of them equate to put dust in the corner and run only the tests that are the least likely to fail, which puts into question why we would run upstream tests at all. So if you know a good way to enable debci to provide the needed locale to debci, please let me know.
