[Python-modules-team] Bug#770977: pytest: Fails to build from source

Tue Nov 25 16:43:32 UTC 2014

Source: pytest
Version: 2.6.3-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to do a rebuild of some of the packages in jessie, and
pytest fails the testsuite for python3.4 as far as I can tell.

I used debootstrap --variant=buildd to create a jessie chroot, then
installed the build-dep's of pytest and build-essential, and ran
dpkg-buildpackage, and the testsuite failed so the package did not build.

I believe this is the relevant bits from the build:
