Dear maintainers,
With a recent upload of mawk the autopkgtest of mawk fails in testing
when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of mawk from
unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular
form:
pass fail
mawk from testing 1.3.3-19
all others from testing from testing
I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. The test
doesn't fail by itself, but apparently there is a new warning that is
printed to stderr that makes the autopkgtest fail. Either suppress that
warning, or add the allow-stderr restriction to the autopkgtest definition.
Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can
you please investigate the situation and fix it?
