Bug#842302: autopkgtest: source_rules_command failure message is unclear
Package: autopkgtest
Version: 4.1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
While testing a package (sorry, I don't remember how to reproduce this)
I got a failure from source_rules_command(), in which 3 lines of results
were apparently expected but 4 were received, or possibly the other way
round. This is an unhelpful message, because it didn't tell me what the
4 lines that were received *were*.
The attached patch makes this somewhat easier to diagnose.
