[Boxer-devel] Bug#1109028: boxer-data: autopkgtest regression: Unable to locate package X

[Paul Gevers]

Source: boxer-data
Version: 10.10.0
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: regression

Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it fails since early 
2025. Can you please investigate the situation and fix it? I copied some 
of the output at the bottom of this report.

The release team has announced [1] that failing autopkgtest on amd64 and 
arm64 are considered RC in testing.

More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be 
found on 
https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/RegressionEmailInformation

With my Release Team member hat on I allow you to tag this bug as 
trixie-ignore if this is nearly completely a test issue as it's so late 
in the freeze and it's not worth removing the package from trixie 
because of a failing test at this moment unless it exposes a much bigger 
issue. Having said that, if this is a test only issue and a fix is 
possible without fully removing the autopkgtest and without making the 
test superficial, it's still welcome, but it would need to happen soon.

Paul
PS: the test is calle smoke.mk; you should probably add the superficial 
restriction (which would also avoid the problem that you now PASS on 
architectures where you don't seem to test anything at all
