[DRE-maint] Bug#919815: ruby-sanitize: autopkgtest needs update for new version of ruby-nokogiri

[Paul Gevers]

Source: ruby-sanitize
Version: 4.6.6-1
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: needs-update
Control: affects -1 src:ruby-nokogiri

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of ruby-nokogiri the autopkgtest of ruby-sanitize
fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages
of ruby-nokogiri from unstable. It passes when run with only packages
from testing. In tabular form:
                       pass            fail
ruby-nokogiri          from testing    1.10.0+dfsg1-1
ruby-sanitize          from testing    4.6.6-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. It seems you
just need to update your reference.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of ruby-nokogiri to
testing [1]. Of course, ruby-nokogiri shouldn't just break your
autopkgtest (or even worse, your package), but it seems to me that the
change in ruby-nokogiri was intended and your package needs to update to
the new situation. If needed, please change the bug's severity.

If this is a real problem in your package (and not only in your
autopkgtest), the right binary package(s) from ruby-nokogiri should
really add a versioned Breaks on the unfixed version of (one of your)
package(s). Note: the Breaks is nice even if the issue is only in the
autopkgtest as it helps the migration software to figure out the right
versions to combine in the tests.

[0] You can see what packages were added from the second line of the log
file quoted below. The migration software adds source package from
unstable to the list if they are needed to install packages from
ruby-nokogiri/1.10.0+dfsg1-1. I.e. due to versioned dependencies or
breaks/conflicts.
