[Debian-med-packaging] Upgrading htseq failed

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Diane and others,

we should try hard to upgrade all our software before the freeze.
I tried htseq in Git[1] but the build time test fails:

...
   dh_auto_test -O--buildsystem=pybuild
I: pybuild base:232: cd /build/htseq-0.13.5/.pybuild/cpython3_3.9_htseq/build; python3.9 -m unittest discover -v 
HTSeq (unittest.loader._FailedTest) ... ERROR

======================================================================

Any help would be welcome
