Bug#993107: theano: autopkgtest depends on libclblas-dev which is not in testing *and* has skip-not-installable

Severity: serious

Hi,

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However it depends on
libclblas-dev which currently isn't available in testing due to an RC
bug. This would just be a regular autopkgtest regression in testing
(due to the removal of libclblas-dev) if the test was not marked as
skip-not-installable. Now the test is skipped in a pure testing
environment, but it *is* run in an environment with both testing and
unstable in the APT sources. Currently the test *fails* in unstable on
armhf, but the failure is attributed to every single reverse dependency
by the unstable-to-tesing migration software.

I currently believe that I should have never introduced
skip-not-installable in autopkgtest. Please drop it (and please drop
your test until it can be run in testing).

Paul
