Source: r-cran-jquerylib Version: 0.1.4+dfsg-3 Severity: serious X-Debbugs-CC: node-jqu...@packages.debian.org Tags: sid bookworm User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: needs-update Control: affects -1 src:node-jquery
Dear maintainer(s),With a recent upload of node-jquery the autopkgtest of r-cran-jquerylib fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of node-jquery from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular form:
pass fail
node-jquery from testing 3.6.1+dfsg+~3.5.14-1
r-cran-jquerylib from testing 0.1.4+dfsg-3
all others from testing from testing
I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. The text
suggest you actually want something smarter than just testing that the
version remains the same. If your package *needs* that, you should
document that in the package Depends, such that tools can pick it up,
but somehow I feel the test is way too strict.
Currently this regression is blocking the migration of node-jquery to testing [1]. Of course, node-jquery shouldn't just break your autopkgtest (or even worse, your package), but it seems to me that the change in node-jquery was intended and your package needs to update to the new situation.
If this is a real problem in your package (and not only in your autopkgtest), the right binary package(s) from node-jquery should really add a versioned Breaks on the unfixed version of (one of your) package(s). Note: the Breaks is nice even if the issue is only in the autopkgtest as it helps the migration software to figure out the right versions to combine in the tests.
