I have read that thread and I am aware of the issue that testing migration tests sometimes install the wrong version of the package and that when a version mismatch happens it results in errors that look at first glance similar to this one. In the case of such version mismatch errors I wait a bit and if waiting doesn't seem to be helping follow up with the release team and/or debci team.

But I am pretty sure that is not what is going on here for a couple of reasons.

1. I checked the test log and there was no version mismatch to be seen.
2. The failure is also happening in plain unstable tests. My understanding is that the version mismatch issue is a quirk of the testing migration tests.

It seems that the issue is that the upstream version is "0.4.30+curl-7.69.1", the Debian packaging seems to strip this down to 0.4.30 for the package versions and for the name of the directory in /usr/share/ but the autpkgtest uses the full version when looking for the source to test.

Looking at previous test logs I also have a nasty feeling that if/when this is fixed the tests will fail for other reasons.
