[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#958574: toil: autopkgtest regression in a superficial test

[Paul Gevers]

Source: toil
Version: 4.0.0-1
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: regression

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of toil the autopkgtest of toil fails in testing
when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of toil from
unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular
form:

                       pass            fail
toil                   from testing    4.0.0-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. Although I
believe that this issue is not in your package but in python3-docker
(shouldn't it depend on python3-distutils), with my release team member
hat on, I request you to mark you smoke-test as superficial as it's
hardly testing the package.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. I'll
file a bug against python3-docker shortly.
