Hi Everyone,
To change ideas, I had a look at a random package bug. For once
I picked a bug in the covid-19 bugs list and I believe I could
fix #959061, affecting the package pynn:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=959061
As usual with me, there is a catch. While all tests are now
passing, I noted the autopkgtest command returns error code 8,
which seems to mean that there were no non-superficial tests
that were run, according to the manual. Two questions arise:
* Would the current fix be sufficient for addessing the bug ?
* Would the error code be fatal for proper package validation
as well ?
Fortunately, my prompt is rather noisy when error codes are
showing up[1], otherwise I would have missed it; the following
is present in my ~/.bashrc:
trap 'printf "\e[31mExit code: %3d " "$?"' ERR
Have a nice day, :)
