[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#976761: drop-seq: autopkgtest regression on armhf and i386: Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx16384m

[Paul Gevers]

Source: drop-seq
Version: 2.4.0+dfsg-3
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 drop-seq the autopkgtest fails on armhf and i386
in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
drop-seq from unstable. It passes (well, it's skipped) when run with
only packages from testing. In tabular form:

                       pass            fail
drop-seq               from testing    2.4.0+dfsg-3
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?

[0] You can see what packages were added from the second line of the log
file quoted below. The migration software adds source package from
unstable to the list if they are needed to install packages from
drop-seq/2.4.0+dfsg-3. I.e. due to versioned dependencies or
breaks/conflicts.
