The failing test checks if apt knows all fields dpkg knows – which as dpkg introduced a new field "Auto-Built-Package" in 1.18.19 is making all apt versions fail that test, we just happened to be uploading around the same time. (the test failed in the earlier 1.4~beta4 cases, too, if you look at the output, 1.4~rc1 just fixed a report-test-as-always-successful case …) Perhaps that test shouldn't be critical as we don't do much with the fields (its about ordering them in output), but then again if it isn't on the critical path we might end up desyncing for years again… the team was discussing this a bit yesterday on IRC with no direct outcome, but there will be one eventually… anyway, not a regression of 1.4 and harmless as such. There is another testcase regression hidden on Debian infra as its running the tests on amd64: One test calls: date -d '0-12-25' which is an invalid date on 32bit architectures… as the test is about the day much more than the year a future release is going to change years. We could be doing another upload to fix this I guess if you prefer, but perhaps its better to get that huge diff out of the way first and deal with these minor things later. We^WJulian will do as you prefer. ;P Best regards David Kalnischkies
