Well, if I remove the dependency, then the test still fails with:

autopkgtest [02:21:49]: test test-example: [-----------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ariba", line 3, in <module>

    import distutils.sysconfig
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.sysconfig'

test-example         FAIL non-zero exit status 1
autopkgtest [02:21:50]: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ summary

…again, due to a missing distutils. Did I miss something?

Cheers
Sascha
