Dear maintainer(s),
With a recent upload of debhelper the autopkgtest of xfig fails in
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
debhelper from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
testing. In tabular form:
pass fail
debhelper from testing 13
xfig from testing 1:3.2.7b-2
all others from testing from testing
I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. I don't spot
anything in there, you may want to avoid redirecting to /dev/null during
testing.
Currently this regression is blocking the migration of debhelper to
testing [1]. Of course, debhelper shouldn't just break your autopkgtest
(or even worse, your package), but it seems to me that the change in
debhelper 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 debhelper 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.

You may investigate any problem if you feel able to do so, in which
case the test suite provides a good starting point. Its output may
be found below `tests/testsuite.dir'.
