Bug#951078: simage: autopkgtest regression: output to stderr

[Paul Gevers]

Source: simage
Version: 1.8.0-1
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: regression

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of simage the autopkgtest of simage fails in
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of simage
from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In
tabular form:
                       pass            fail
simage                 from testing    1.8.0-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. It seems the
tool you're using has started to report to stderr. Either suppress that
or enable the allow-stderr restriction.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can
you please investigate the situation and fix it?
