[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#995355: node-public-encrypt: autopkgtest regression: deprecation warning on stderr

[Paul Gevers]

Source: node-public-encrypt
Version: 4.0.0-3
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: regression

Dear maintainer(s),

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

                       pass            fail
node-public-encrypt    from testing    4.0.0-3
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. The test
itself passes, but it emits a deprecation warning on stderr. Currently
(I'm considering to change that), the default of autopkgtest is to fail
if there's output on stderr, you can opt-out by adding the allow-stderr
restriction. In my opinion (with release team member and ci-team member
hat on) deprecation warnings should *not* fail autopkgtests, so either
disable deprecation warnings (best solution) if you want to keep
autopkgtest failing on output to stderr or use the allow-stderr restriction.

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