[Holger Levsen] > what are the different purposes? The debian/tests/ scripts check installabability and desktop selection using different mechanism from the one used by jenkins. I would say the purpose of the autopkgtest scripts is to check that the metapackages work as they should (ie have the corret tasksel hooks in place), while the jenkins scripts is to check if the dependencies of the metapackages are installable. They tend to fail both at the same time, but they might also fail independenty, depending on the error situation.
I still do not quite understand why did you bring in the jenkins test into this discussion? Can you explain what you had in mind? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
