Hi folks, Regarding: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/groff ...progress of groff into testing is blocked because autopkgtests went bonkers, failing on every architecture. This was due to a change in a groff diagnostic message not getting scraped away by dgit, which was using a regex to match the message text, and employing one of its own man pages as a model document to, I think, validate correct man/groff operation, or man page rendering. Unfortunately the dgit man page in question was defective. I reported the bug with an explanation and patch, and Ian Jackson promptly fixed and uploaded it. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1041317 https://tracker.debian.org/news/1446065/accepted-dgit-111-source-into-unstable/ But I see no mechanism for interacting with autopkgtests to force them to re-run due to the remedy of a defect in the test harness itself. How is this to be done? Should some automated mechanism for achieving this be added, and if so, where? Regards, Branden
