>From what I can see here, these are test failures and not a FTBFS. Is this actually an RC bug? https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities serious: is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a "must" or "required" directive), or, in the package maintainer's or release manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release. This isn't a violation of policy as the package does not FTBFS. Is the test failure an indication to the maintainer that it is unsuitable for release because it's generally busted for everyone, or is it still useful for many even with a couple of test failures? (Not debating that this is a bug and fixing it would be better; just checking that we're not kidding ourselves with severities) cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7
