Hi,

I'd recommend reading the bug report log from here to get some hints
about recommended changes in the code:

   https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973070#17

For the moment I've excluded the affected tests.

Kind regards

      Andreas.

Either this or you can keep the override for dh_auto_test-arch empty.

The test creates a broken symlink but then FileUtils.deleteDirectory
fails to delete the file, obviously because it is not a directory but
I'm not sure how it really handles symlinks within directories. See also
[1]. Probably upstream should switch to the java.nio.file API (they
still use java.io.File), test for the existence of symlinks and then try
File.delete instead of FileUtils.deleteDirectory first. Not tested, just
a guess.
