Dear maintainer(s),
With a recent upload of git the autopkgtest of gitbrute fails in testing
when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of git from
unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular
form:
pass fail
git from testing 1:2.30.0-1
gitbrute from testing 0~12-3
all others from testing from testing
I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. git is
printing a warning to stderr, and your autopkgtest fails on that (you
can ignore it with the allow-stderr, you can of course prevent the output).
Currently this regression is blocking the migration of git to testing
[1]. Of course, git shouldn't just break your autopkgtest (or even
worse, your package), but it seems to me that the change in git 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 git 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.
