[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#976409: glibc breaks node-iconv autopkgtest: AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Missing expected exception

[Paul Gevers]

Source: glibc, node-iconv
Control: found -1 glibc/2.31-5
Control: found -1 node-iconv/2.3.5-4

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of glibc the autopkgtest of node-iconv fails in
testing on all architectures when that autopkgtest is run with the
binary packages of glibc from unstable. It passes when run with only
packages from testing. In tabular form:

                       pass            fail
glibc                  from testing    2.31-5
node-iconv             from testing    2.3.5-4
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of glibc to testing
[1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against
both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the
bug to the right package?
