[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#968874: parsinsert: autopkgtest regression: gzip: set1000.results.gz: Too many levels of symbolic links

[Paul Gevers]

Source: parsinsert
Version: 1.04-8
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 parsinsert the autopkgtest of parsinsert fails
in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
parsinsert from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
testing. In tabular form:

                       pass            fail
parsinsert             from testing    1.04-8
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can
you please investigate the situation and fix it? (You're package also
FTBFS on several archs).
