[Fingerforce-devel] Bug#1059027: libfprint FTBFS with nocheck profile: missing dependencies

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: libfprint
Version: 1:1.94.6-2
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs

libfprint fails to build from source when built with the nocheck build
profile. Note that this is considered a release critical bug since
trixie by the release team. Here is the relevant part of the build log:


| Program unittest_inspector.py found: YES (/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/tests/unittest_inspector.py)
| Program umockdev-test.py found: YES (/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/tests/umockdev-test.py)

I suggest that python3-gi is wrongly annotated <!nocheck> or tests are
not properly disabled.
