Hi, I've came across through #1001371 which is basically
pytest-twisted: (autopkgtest) needs update for python3.10: E {'warnings': 2} !=
{'warnings': 1}
https://bugs.debian.org/1001371So far I understand the information from the bug report the real problem isn't a broken autopkgtest in pytest-twisted but rather a deprecation warning from twisted which turns into an error.
So I've looked into twisted. We currently ship a quite old version and I think instead of "just" fixing the current version in unstable/testing we should updating twisted to the most recent version in a midterm.
I've already done some work to get this done, but at least the autopkgtest is something I haven't got to successful working.
My current WIP can be found here: https://salsa.debian.org/tijuca/twistedI created a new branch debian/master on top of the current master branch (due to group policy) and I tried to update the patch queue (successful I think), a lot of old patches are not needed anymore I'd say.
I also added some new patches later while working on issues to get the build at least completed. I do not have a greater experience on the twisted framework, so currently I can't say for sure that my current WIP is completely right, but it should be nearly by.
Currently the autopkgtest beaks on some version comparing which I can't really rate.
twisted.trial.unittest.FailTest: '[dummy, version 1.0.0rc1]' != '[dummy, version 1.0.0.rc1]'
The relevant part is visible here:
https://salsa.debian.org/tijuca/twisted/-/jobs/2375834#L504
I tend to disable these tests for now to make progress on more relevant parts like updating d/rules to debhelper style. But without some help regarding the later required binary packages I wont get done this.
Ignoring the autopkgtest for now Lintian is complaining about empty binary packages for python3-twisted-{bin,dbg}. Are they needed anymore? OTOH it's looking not that bad and a lot of the messages should be easy to fix.

I'm happy to hear some feedback how to proceed with the twisted framework.I wanted to "clean" up the patch queue by uniform patch names e.g. and extend commit messages, but for now it's better to keep the old patches as changes are easier to track by this currently.
