Control: tag -1 pending Hello all,
thanks for the .changes attachments! I can indeed reproduce this now. Not under Ubuntu, as we have an older python3-debian (0.1.22) -- with this version it works just fine. But I do get the error with python3-debian 0.1.27 in sid. Damyan Ivanov [2015-06-12 20:02 +0000]: > Both .changes files seem to have what seems to be interpreted as > a comment. Lines 186-189 of /usr/share/autopkgtest/python/testdesc.py > seem to attempt to handle this, but after stripping the comment (not > starting from the first character), the resulting test seems to > confuse the parser, because the line now contains only whitespace. > > Perhaps the test on line 186 should also be triggered by lines > starting with whitespace,followed by #? That's indeed the culprit. The workaround to filter out intra-line comments (line 189) was necessary up to python-debian 0.1.22 due to https://bugs.debian.org/743174 . 0.1.23 and later fixed some, but not all, of this. But since autopkgtest needs to run on older releases too, and even the latest python-debian doesn't accept all kinds of comments I can't just drop this. So I refined the parser now to handle lines which consist only of whitespace and a comment, which seems to work well with older and newer python-debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git/commit/?id=54744c1b2 (including test case) Thanks!
