Package: autopkgtest Version: 3.6jessie1 Severity: normal Tests fail on Python packages that have Cython-compiled modules. See, for example, the test log for python-cobra on DebCI [1]. The tests there fail with the error "solver not found", where the solver is the Cython-compiled module that has been renamed for multiarch during the package build. However, those tests are successful when manually installing the package and running the tests in an updated Unstable chroot.
As another example, one test for python-pysam fails because it can't find a compiled module [2]: ERROR: Failure: ImportError (Building module _compile_test failed: ["CompileError: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1\n"]) The problem was worked-around with a hack in the test run script where a symlink is created to point to the multiarch-renamed library [3]. I have not tested with the latest version of adt-run, but the problem affects Stable and the version running on DebianCI. I believe the problem is with this package because the tests are fine when run manually after installation, even in a clean chroot.
