[Python-modules-team] Bug#743685: FTBFS: test failures

[Vincent Cheng]

Source: urwid
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Dear Maintainer,

urwid 1.2.1-1 currently FTBFS on i386 and mipsel according to the buildd [1]
logs. Note that the test suite is now run against all python2 and python3
versions supported in sid (rather than just python2, as was the case with
previous versions of urwid); the test failure on i386 is a new one, and only
happens with python3.


i386 [2]:
