[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1134529: cocotb: uses 'Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-pybuild' without build-time tests

[Jeroen Ploemen]

Package: cocotb	
Version: 2.0.1-2.1
X-Debbugs-CC: aelmahmoudy at users.sourceforge.net

Hi,

cocotb sets 'Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-pybuild' in d/control, which
is designed to run the build-time tests in an autopkgtest context.
Except the package doesn't actually run any tests on build, which
turns this into the equivalent of running /bin/true as an autopkgtest.

Please either remove the field from d/control, or start running tests
on build that autopkgtest-pkg-pybuild can put to good use.


Log excerpt from the salsa CI at [1] demonstrating the problem:
