[Debian-med-packaging] Help to run test suite for python-pysam needed (does not find libhts)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I tried to upgrade python-pysam[1] but the build endet in a failed test
suite:


LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 dh_auto_test -- --test --system=custom \
	--test-args='set -e; \
		     cp -a /tmp/buildd/python-pysam-0.8.0/tests {build_dir}/tests ; \
		     cd {build_dir}/tests && PYTHONPATH={build_dir} {interpreter} ./pysam_test.py \
		                          && PYTHONPATH={build_dir} {interpreter} ./tabix_test.py '
I: pybuild base:170: set -e; \
		     cp -a /tmp/buildd/python-pysam-0.8.0/tests /tmp/buildd/python-pysam-0.8.0/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_2.7/build/tests ; \
		     cd /tmp/buildd/python-pysam-0.8.0/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_2.7/build/tests && PYTHONPATH=/tmp/buildd/python-pysam-0.8.0/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_2.7/build python2.7 ./pysam_test.py \
		                          && PYTHONPATH=/tmp/buildd/python-pysam-0.8.0/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_2.7/build python2.7 ./tabix_test.py.

The problem seems to be that the library libhts is not properly linked
since

$ strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhts.so.1 | grep faidx_fetch_nseq
faidx_fetch_nseq


Any idea why this library is not found?

Kind regards

        Andreas.
