Dear maintainer(s),
With a recent upload of git the autopkgtest of kworkflow 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
kworkflow from testing 20191112-1.1
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.

[0] You can see what packages were added from the second line of the log
file quoted below. The migration software adds source package from
unstable to the list if they are needed to install packages from
git/1:2.30.0-1. I.e. due to versioned dependencies or breaks/conflicts.
