Can you run the tests against the installed package?
Indeed, sorry for that. I disabled autopkgtest for the last upload again and prepared a branch that redirects stderr to a file (output is mostly noise) and test the installed files instead of the build file. One question - whats the best practise here, should the test also check against the build tree? Or is it better to run the tests against the build tree during the package build? I guess the later but would be nice if you could confirm :) Cheers, Michael -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1260297 Title: status_update not sent any more, causes eternal hang on conffile prompts in aptdaemon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1260297/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
