Hello Christoph,

On my sbuild autopkgtest run is successful since the package does not have any
tests. In case you run into this error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'schroot'
autopkgtest [10:30:49]: ERROR: testbed failure: unexpected eof from the testbed

check your .sbuildrc or ~/.config/sbuild/config.pl 

and comment out the line:

$autopkgtest_opts = [ '--', 'schroot', '%r-%a-sbuild' ];

I had the same error when changed from schroot to unshare!!!

As far as it concerns w-scan-cpp I have not forked the repo so a merge request
would be tricky right now.

In some e-mails we had exchanged with Tobias a while ago he agreed to give me
write access to debian/w-scan-cpp repo since this package is orphaned and noone
is willing to work on it.
Now I see that I only have Reporter role meaning that I can not push the new
release. I could push the changes to the main repo if you could give me access.


Regards
Apostolos
